Last Mountain Lake is a hidden gem that keeps anglers coming back year after year. The lake's diverse structure - from shallow weed beds to deep drop-offs - creates the perfect habitat for a variety of fish species. You'll love the scenery too - rolling prairies meeting crystal clear waters, with plenty of wildlife sightings to boot. Tyrell's wealth of knowledge means you're not just fishing, you're getting an education on the lake's ecosystem and the best ways to target different species throughout the season. Plus, with 6 full hours on the water, you've got time to really dial in your technique and land that personal best.
Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the crown jewel of Last Mountain Lake. Known for their tasty white flesh, Walleye put up a great fight and are a blast to catch. They tend to hang out near structure and drop-offs, so we'll be targeting those areas with finesse presentations. Spring and early summer are prime times for Walleye, but they bite year-round. The average size here is 2-4 pounds, but don't be surprised if we hook into a 7 or 8-pounder!
Northern Pike: If you're after a real drag-screaming battle, Northern Pike are your target. These toothy predators are aggressive and will hit just about anything that moves. We often find them lurking in weed beds or along points, ready to ambush their prey. Pike fishing really heats up in the summer months when they're most active. While the average size runs 3-5 pounds, Last Mountain Lake is known for producing some real monsters in the 15-20 pound range. Landing one of these bad boys will definitely be the highlight of your trip!
Look, if you're serious about putting some bend in your rod and filling up the livewell, this is the trip for you. Tyrell's got the know-how, the gear, and the perfect boat to make it happen. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to up your game or a newbie wanting to learn from the best, this 6-hour adventure on Last Mountain Lake is gonna deliver. The fish are biting, the scenery's stunning, and the memories you'll make are priceless. So what are you waiting for? Grab your fishing buddies, secure your spot, and get ready for a day on the water you won't soon forget. Trust me, the only thing you'll regret is not booking sooner. Let's make it happen!
Walleye are prized catches here on Last Mountain Lake. These golden-olive fish typically run 15-25 inches and 2-5 pounds. You'll find them hanging out near rocky or sandy bottoms, often in 10-30 foot depths. They're most active at dawn and dusk, using their light-sensitive eyes to hunt. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons when they move into shallower water. Anglers love walleye for their tasty white fillets and the challenge of locating them. They're not the strongest fighters, but they put up a good scrap on light tackle. To catch walleye, try slow-trolling with bottom bouncers and nightcrawlers along drop-offs. My local tip? Focus on wind-blown points in the evening - that's where baitfish get pushed, and walleye follow. Jigging with minnows works great too. Just remember to set the hook gently - walleye have soft mouths that tear easily.
Northern Pike are aggressive predators that'll give you a real fight. These elongated fish average about 2 feet long and 30 pounds, but can grow much bigger. You'll find them in cool, shallow areas near weed beds and drop-offs. They're ambush hunters, so look for spots with cover. Pike are most active in spring and fall when water temps are cooler. Anglers love targeting them for their powerful strikes and acrobatic jumps. They're not the fastest swimmers, but they can burst with incredible speed to attack prey or lures. When fishing for pike, use sturdy gear - their razor-sharp teeth can slice through light line. I like to use large spoons or soft plastic swimbaits, retrieved slowly to mimic injured fish. One local trick: try casting near fallen trees or lily pads in early morning. Pike often lurk there waiting to ambush their breakfast. Just be careful handling them - those teeth are no joke!
