So my family is headed into Insula Lake towards the end of July, we are going in through Snowbank, Disappointment, Ima, and Thomas on our way in and then coming back out through the Numbered lakes. It will probable the last "family" trip we make together as our 2 oldest children have graduated from college this
year and will be moving on in their own directions. Our youngest son just enlisted in the Navy on a delayed entry and will be in boot camp next summer and if he succeeds with all of his plans will be spending the next 2 years after that with training for the SEALs. I'm sure they will join us going into the Bdub in the future but i don't see all of our schedules working in the future as a group like this year. My youngest son has said he would like to do some fishing on this trip and my oldest son has indicted that he might enjoy doing some too, I guess truth be told I'd like it also. So I need some help finding a few good fishing areas on Insula. I'm not asking for your most guarded secret spot but any areas where we may have a better chance of getting some walleyes, just enough for a meal or 2 for the 5 of us. As my youngest says when he knows he pushing on my "buttons" (usually with a huge grin with his orthodontic improved teeth) "Dad, it's about the memories", and this is one I would like to make happen. Thanks for any help you my offer.

dblwhiskey,

Insula is filled with islands and a lot of fish able area. I've spent a considerable amount of time fishing that body of water.

If you have a depth finder (electronics) and are not concerned with searching for main lake structure, you can find concentrated schools of walleye on reefs, bars, and sunken islands if you put in some time. If you find them one place, they should be on every piece of similar structure.

If you do not have depth finder (electronics), try fishing points between islands and main lake shorelines where the point appear to be "connected' under water. You can find fish usually on the wind blown sides of those "connected" points, although you may need to work all depths in-between to find them. Northern Pike will also be in the mix.

Easiest presentation to efficiently cover water would be using 1/4 - 3/8 oz jigs and 2-3" soft body twister tails fished vertically or casted pending water depth.

Good luck!
