So swimming in deeper waters and in areas free of plants and debris will reduce the likelihood of a leech finding you. How do you prevent leeches when swimming? In addition to walleyes, big pike, smallmouth bass, jumbo perch, crappies,and muskies are also being caught on a regular basis.Leeches get into your pond from a number of sources, but they usually come from the introduction of new plants, fish or rocks Parasitic leeches can be harmful to your fish causing anemia and can spread protozoal blood parasites between fish. This entire area is great for multispecies action. If desired, live bait is available and can be purchased for the day just over the border via boat in Canada, check with your resort for details. Most are using jigs / plastics, artificial crawlers on spinners and crankbaits with great success. NW Angle anglers boating into Canada to fish cannot possess or transport any bait, alive or dead. Great fishing reports from both sides of the border. Shallow flats areas with current are also heating up. Structure around the many islands holding walleyes. Anglers using spinners with crawlers or minnows and crankbaits are catching lots of fish as well. Excellent walleye fishing this past week. The sturgeon season will re-open again July 1st. Whether you are a bass angler or simply want to mix up species, target feeder rivers, bridges, and areas with rocks. Smallmouth bass are plentiful in the Rainy River. Whether you like the beauty and secluded feel of the river, have a small boat or simply want to get out of the wind, the river is a great summer spot with little traffic.Īnchored up or slowly moving upstream with a jig and minnow, trolling spinners / crawlers or trolling crankbaits are all effective right now. There is always a number of walleyes that stay in the river all year. Walleye anglers are finding some nice eater walleyes in the River. Some of the larger fish have made their way to the lake. Back bays are still holding good eaters and a few big females. Most walleyes in that 18 - 24 foot depth. In addition to the south shore where various schools of walleyes and saugers are living, consider the Garden Island area, Knight / Bridges Island area, and Twin Islands where good fish are being caught.

My nephews commercial operation utilized stock tanks and stainless dairy tanks, among other things like aerators and all kinds of junk. buckets in the cool part of the garage seemed to suffice? We never had alot at one time and a couple of 5 gal.
We would store the leeches the same way you store minnows, they are a little hardier and don't die as quickly. It has been a long while since I did the leech trapping.they did'nt even have plastic coffee cans then and my boys were young, it used to be an adventure, a way to stay connected with the boys and do something together in the outdoors, something unique!
With the open can method, I would also catch alot of Dobson fly larvae and they are always trying to pinch you and it stings! There are all kinds of creepy crawlies in the swamp and I believe most are meat eaters! Some of the ponds/swamps, seemed to have alot of bloodsuckers and silver stars in them and they will glom onto you in a second!
Alot of the more southerly swamps have smaller leeches and the further north you go the bigger they get? It seemed like every swamp down here that I threw a leech trap into, I caught some.
