Whether you're an early bird or afternoon angler, we've got options to suit your schedule. From May 15th to September 15th, we'll be chasing walleye and northern pike aboard my decked-out Lund Tyee. Trust me, once you feel that first tug on the line, you'll be hooked!
Picture this: You're cruising across Last Mountain Lake in a top-of-the-line Lund Tyee, powered by a beefy 200 HP Mercury engine. The lake stretches out before you, full of promise and hungry fish. Whether you choose the 7 AM morning trip to catch that golden hour bite or the 3 PM afternoon run when the fish are getting frisky again, we've got prime time covered. I'll be right there with you, sharing local tips and helping you land the big ones. We keep our groups small - just 2 to 4 anglers - so you get plenty of personalized attention and elbow room for casting. Best part? All the gear, bait, and tackle are provided. Just bring your fishing license and a good attitude, and we'll handle the rest.
On Last Mountain Lake, we're not messing around with amateur hour tactics. We'll be using proven techniques that consistently put walleye and pike in the boat. Depending on the conditions, we might be jigging along drop-offs, trolling crankbaits through weed edges, or working soft plastics in the shallows. I'll show you how to read the fish finder, set up your rig just right, and present your bait in a way that makes fish go nuts. We'll adjust our approach based on what's working that day - that's the beauty of having a local guide who's on the water daily. And don't worry if you're new to this; I'll break down each technique so you'll be fishing like a pro in no time.
Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the crown jewels of Last Mountain Lake. Known for their tasty fillets and feisty fights, walleye are a blast to catch. They average 2-3 pounds here, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 5-pounder or bigger! Walleye tend to hang out near underwater structure and become more active during low light conditions. That's why our early morning and late afternoon trips are perfect for targeting them. When a walleye hits your line, get ready for some head shakes and powerful runs.
Northern Pike: If you're after a true freshwater predator, look no further than the northern pike. These toothy critters are ambush hunters that'll smash your lure with impressive force. On Last Mountain Lake, we regularly catch pike in the 5-10 pound range, with the potential for real monsters over 20 pounds. Pike love to hang out in weed beds and along drop-offs, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting prey. When you hook one, be prepared for explosive runs and acrobatic jumps. Just watch those teeth when we're removing the hook!
Let me tell you, there's something special about fishing Last Mountain Lake that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big northern pike as it tries to wrap you around a weed bed. Or the satisfaction of perfecting your jigging technique and feeling that telltale 'thump' of a walleye strike. Could be the stunning sunrises and sunsets that paint the sky as we're out on the water. Whatever it is, this lake has a way of getting under your skin. And with our flexible 3-hour trips, it's easy to fit some quality fishing time into even the busiest schedule.

Walleye are the bread and butter of Last Mountain Lake fishing. These golden-olive fish typically run 1-2 feet long and hang out near rocky or sandy bottoms. During the day, you'll find them deeper, often around 10-30 feet. They move shallow to feed at night and early morning. Walleye have excellent low-light vision, making dawn and dusk prime fishing times. Spring and fall are your best bets for numbers. Anglers love walleye for their tasty white fillets and the challenge of finding them. They're not always easy to catch, but that's part of the fun. A local trick: drift with a bottom bouncer and nightcrawler harness, letting your bait bump along those rocky shelves. Walleye often hit light, so set the hook on any subtle tap. Once you dial in the pattern, the action can be non-stop.
Northern Pike are the aggressive predators of Last Mountain Lake, often reaching 2-3 feet long. These solitary hunters lurk in cool, weedy shallows near drop-offs, ambushing anything that moves. In summer, they retreat to deeper, cooler water. Pike put up a fierce fight when hooked, making them a blast to catch. Spring and fall are prime pike seasons here. Watch those teeth though - they're no joke! To land a big one, try slow-trolling a large soft plastic or spoon near weed edges. Pike often follow lures, so keep reeling steadily even after a strike. Some anglers swear by bright orange or chartreuse lures on overcast days. Whether you're after a trophy or just want an exciting tussle, pike fishing is guaranteed to get your heart racing.
