Title: Wallum lake
Post by: Scotty D on Jan 15, 2018, 02:09 PM

Does anybody have any info or tips on fishing Wallum Lake in Douglas? Or possibly an ice report? Thinking of making the trip there tomorrow with my uncle. Never fished it.

Jigging nightcrawlers for perch? Any luck (or did you try) for salmon/trout using tip-ups?

I could be dead wrong, but I think the smelts are long gone. The states stocked alewives as a forage fish and they are doing quite well...

Had a good day there yesterday, today not so much!
