Lindy rigs will work as well. Jigs and live-bait rigs of a split shot, hook and leech work for smallies. Jumbo jigs down deep work well for summer lakers. Canadian officials aim to keep the opportunities at Lac Seul as good as they are for years to come. Visitors are permitted to keep only one over the 21-inch mark and five under.
Anglers begin arriving at the lodge as soon as ice is out.
Early birds seek big lakers before the third weekend of May when walleye season opens. Northerns, lake trout and smallies provide added fun all summer long. Musky season opens the third week of June and really heats up later in the fall. The main lodge closes near the end of September. Walleye were first found in the vast area that stretched from near the Alaskan border on the north to the Deep South of America's Dixieland.
