My buddies and I are planning our first trip into Quentico after several trips into the Cummings lake area. The only two kinds of fish we have caught before are northerns and sm bass. Now we will have the opportunity to catch lake trout and walleye. We are going in mid to late June. We need suggestions on tackle and techniques to help us catch these different fish. Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

The two rigs that always produce for us on Lac La Croix are

1) Rapala's Shad Rap #5 (perch and silver).
2) A leech on a slip bobber and bare hook.

Of course the fishing up there is so good that almost everything works. My buddy caught a 30" and a 29" on a husky jerk lure that he normally uses for muskie.

Best fishing!

springer I go in every year on the second weekend in june into lake agnes and we do really really good on leaches and a bare hook ( red #5) in about 10 to 18 feet of water .
Its kind of a pain to bring the leeches in but its well worth it !!
last year between 4 guys we caught 276 walleys in 3 days not counting the northens we caught, hope this helps you agnes is a fun trip and i will almost ggarentee that you will catch walleyes in mass quantities.......
good luck!!

Springer,

Locating the fish is probably more important that the lures you use to catch them.
Walleyes will tend to school and once you find them you can catch them in numbers. If the area you are fishing has an inlet where there is some fast water flowing in you will often find Walter below the inlet feeding in the moving water. Also you can try to locate some structure (drop-off or hump) adjacent to the moving water. If it's deep throw a small shad rap or rattle trap (no leader).
Look for sunken islands or points with deep dropoffs. If you want to hassel with live bait a single spinner blade on a snell hook tipped with a leach will make em bite. Depending on the time of year and the weather patterns these fish will be found in different locations. A good rule of thumb is keep the bait on or just off the bottom and be ready. Old marbleeyes has a very gentle bite and if your not paying attention you will miss many hook-ups.

Tight Lines!

Beetlespins work very well. I have found the using s beetlespin off shore is one of the best lures for that job. I have caught many walleye on beetlespins, primarily orange ones.
