Fishing report 5/27/2014 The fishing opener started off slow due to the frozen lake conditions, but now with the advent of warmer weather, the fishing action has heated up. Numerous walleyes from small eater size up to some whopper wall-hangers up to 31 have been pulled from Elys pristine waters. Basswood Lake has topped the charts with loads of walleyes in the 20 range and theres no reason to believe its going to stop any time soon. Minnows have apparently been the top bait, but is followed closely by leeches and crawlers fished either on jigs or spinners. Northern pike too have been smashing spoons and spinner baits worked along emergent weed edges and rocky points. Some lake trout have succumbed to ciscoes fished right on the bottom along with trolled spoons as they cruise depths of twenty to thirty feet of water. The action should steadily increase as young of the year bait fish become more plentiful in the warming water. Crappie action has been slow to materialize with the colder water, but should improve as temps rise.
