Location: New Brighton, MN | I am very happy to say that I just confirmed a trip to Lost Land Lake in the beginning of June. I'm already super excited for this trip, and i'm just wondering if many people hit LLL this time of year, and if they have any advice for me. Will the weeds be pretty sparse this time of year? Should we still be looking at spawning bays and 1st tier structure thereafter? bucktails in weedbeds? Gliders and jerkbaits over reefs? any particular spots to focus on?
Thanks!

Location: Smith Creek | As the lake is basically one huge weed flat they could be anywhere. You'll have to let conditions (weather, water temp) dictate where to fish, my experience is spinners/topwaters in 1-5' slop or walleye gear on the weed edges. |

Don't forget to try Teal Lake as well. The rock bars just east of Paradise Island have produced for me in the past. |

Location: Burlington, WI | I also reccomend Teal lake. There are some awesome rocks to fish all over the the lake. Just be careful since there are some dangerous spots. I ran the front of my boat into some rocks heading into the channel from Lost Land to Teal. I took a chunk of gel coat out of the boat. Nice smallies in Teal as well. |

Location: Hugo, MN | Look for transitions from cabbage to junkweeds in LLL. It's the kind of lake where the fish can be anywhere, so any change in bottom composition or weed thickness can be the key to finding fish. I'd just put on a spinnerbait and start running and gunning over the slop, and key in on anything that looks a little different.
As far as Teal goes, I think it's the better of the two lakes. You'll definitely find fish more structure related on Teal. Really a nice little lake, tons of good rock spots.
I couldn't think of a better place to vacation in NW Wisc. than these two lakes. Nice scenery, no jet ski traffic, and plenty of fish. You may not find a trophy fish in these lakes, but it's not always about that. |

Location: WI | I've fished Teal once and caught a short one, had a follow, and caught a nice smallie on a jerkbait. Tanner Wildes also guides on those lakes so you might want to hit him up for some info or a guided trip. |

| I fished there many years ago and only caught small fish. What is the expected size range there now?
