I just got off the phone with Darren. The guys are on Pinehurst lake as we speak. I gave them some coordinants over the phone for a few key spots on the lake. Hopefully they'll fair well. Yesterday they fished Beaver and Lac La Biche lakes. They were targeting walleye on Beaver but the area they were fishing is primarily pike water. They were fishing in around the first cluster of islands from the west end. The first time I fished the lake I made the same mistake, it looks so inviting it's hard not to fish it. Some of the best fishing for walleyes is actually right at the beach where you access the lake. I think they caught a few small pike. They fished Lac La biche in the afternoon at the causeway. They caught a few nice perch in the 10-11" range, and one of the guys caught a Burbot. They are going back to Beaver to try the beach tonight at sunset. I am meeting them in LLB in the morning for a day of fishing. I'll give a report when I return. Perhaps I can get a few pics as well...
