Its June... they are not hard to find.... even with this cold spring.. they can only wait so long.
I havent been out but been looking. the sunfish are out in force, but havent seen any bass beds, probably cause where I was lookin.
I would throw some large crank baits for those roaming largies between Elk and Beaver right bout now

i wasnt even aware there was largemouth on the island are their populations strong in elk and beaver?

There seems to be a few.... Big too. Ive always done best with a 4 or 5 inch rubber crank bait that storm makes. Anything else Ive thrown has been ignored


Just talked to a buddy that fished Thetis the other day... said they were everywhere, nice sized ones too (smallies)

Shawnigan Lake is awesome with numerous bass. Once I was told that this lake had good fishing for bass as I was a newbie. I was out there for the first time in hot weather two summers back, hooked up and released several good bass...plus almost land a 6 plus monster.
