I'll be in Iron River this friday for 10 days and I was thinking of trying Emily. I've never fished this lake before, the only info I have is what I could find in the Sportsman's Connection which we all know is sometimes inaccurate. If anyone has some helpful tips on fishing here I wouls sure appreciate it. PM me if you want to, I don't know if talking about certain places is frowned upon here like it is on other sites. Thanks in advance.
Not as bad as some other sites, that's why the member's section isn't open to the general public. We usually target pike in the UP at Portage, and have never fished Emily before, but you might try searching the forum to see if anyone else has posted info. in the past. Try pm'ing the Kings, they've fished everywhere, but they might not be on the board frequently b/c they just moved and are working on their new place.
Emily has real good numbers and Chicagon can really kick your butt. Both are pretty cool but are exact opposites as far as catching and seeing fish. I would try speed trolling Emily… Cheeseheads fish this lake but they don't like to troll… the fish will be seeing something they don't normally see. Use short lines and shallow baits. Good luck!
