WHERE TO FISH
ON LONG LAKE
Long Lake has several
spots that can consistently
produce good walleye
catches. Many anglers focus
on the flats adjacent to the
deeper river channel, but
can also be found shoreline
weedlines and structures
such as drop-offs and
submerged gravel beds.
Some of my favorite spots
include:
The upper end of the lake:
This upper portion of the
lake near Long Lake Dam
has many rock formations
and drop-offs where these
predators can hunt bait
fish. Look for shorelines on
the upper end that have
gravel or rip rap. Walleye
love to chase crawdads in
these areas.
The lower end of the lake:
This area provides plenty of
spots to fish from between
9-mile recreational area to
Willow Bay. Trolling and
jigging is very effective in
this large stretch.
