On the water in 2027

A season shaped by the lakes.

Bass is the main focus

TJ specializes in bass fishing, especially finding big fish. Largemouth and smallmouth bass may be featured where relevant to the selected waters. All bass are catch-and-release.

Planned schedule

  • Early-season pike and walleye trips are planned from around Victoria Day weekend.
  • Bass trips are planned from the fourth Saturday in June; after bass season opens, public trips will focus on bass.
  • Trips are planned through the last weekend in November, subject to weather, safe operation, and applicable fishing seasons.

These are operating plans, not confirmed legal season dates. 2027 regulations and lake-specific exceptions must be verified before dates are offered. Pike and walleye trips after the switch to bass may be arranged personally at TJ’s discretion.
