Walleye Fishing in Lake Mille Lacs ft. Mandy Uhrich | Ep. 4 | Fur Hat Ice Tour

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2020
  • Janis continues the Minnesota segment of the tour on Lake Mille Lacs. He’s guided by renowned angler and wildlife biologist Mandy Uhrich. Mandy knows as much about this walleye fishery and the reasons why it has changed over the past generation, as anyone. Mille Lacs is not the ridiculous walleye factory it was 30 years ago, and while that’s very difficult for local anglers and businesses to accept, the situation is more complicated than many people realize. By talking with Mandy as well as the region’s fish biologist, the former head of the Minnesota DNR, and local anglers and shop owners, Jani tries to better understand what has changed in this lake, why those changes have happened, and what it ultimately means for the area and the ecosystem. #fueledbynature #MeatEater

    Mandy, the line about catching 40+ walleye a day and it can’t be done anywhere else really made me upset! Come to the Detroit or st Clair River here in the metro Detroit area in April and may and easily double that 40 fish threshold.. last season was remarkable and it keeps getting better as the years go by, last year we’re numerous days of 100 fish, as we catch our 3 or 4 man limit in under an hour and catch and release until noon or so..

    Yeah dont use reverse on the auger to push slush back down the hole. If you hook anything sizeable all that slush will come back up with the struggling fish, and make it so much harder to coordinate and land.
    Sure it doesn't happen often but when you hook that 10lb walleye or 20lb pike you want to have as many advantages as possible.

But there something about the deep black and gold ones you find in the northern waters. I feel much more gratification about a 24 inch, 3lb goldie (especially through the ice) from my hunt camp up by Timmins then I do about a 10 lber from Erie. That makes them taste better to me haha!
