Headed up north to lake Leelanau by Traverse City anybody been there? Can also fish Lake Michigan. I have fished the East arm of traverse before. But staying on lake leelanau. Any suggestions would help.

Spent a week at Lake Leelanau some years ago, tough fishing.

We stayed on this lake two years in a row a couple years ago. . Both times we stayed for the whole week and despite it being heavily stocked with Walleye we did not do to well at all. Most anyone I talked to caught a couple smaller eyes.. beautiful lake. Some of the best fishing up that way is the waterfall in fishtown. Which is maybe 20 minuets away super cool little town charter boats park in there a couple little restaurants but you can fish from the dock
You will want to fish right next to the restaurant below the waterfall ..My boys and I caught all kinds of smallies .. one of our favorite places to go.. good luck

Thanks Webster. Thinking of fishing Lake Michigan. Or going over to the west arm of traverse bay I have fished there before. You

I don't know if it's "time" but the ciscoe bite is supposed to be quite good in Traverse Bay. I know some are caught trolling but when the time is right, it's a good jig bite. I'm planning a trip in mid-September just for the ciscoes.

Fishing was tough on leelanau just had a mayfly hatch managed one small walleye and two rock bass.

Pulled crawler harness and a small crank bait

Great catch! Im going to try out my new waders this weekend. I bought it last week and the quality looks amazing. Im praying Ill have good fishing experience this weekend. If anyone is looking to buy new fly fishing waders, you should check this website for more information .
