    Anyone willing to share their knowledge and insight into fishing Peavy Pond? I am taking my father up there for a fishing trip. Never been on the water and cannot ...more find a lot of information, not even a contour map. Targeting musky, walleye, smallies, and perch. We are staying at the Michi-Aho Resort and plan to fish down river and the main reservoir, up into the Little Bull Diversion Canal. Thanks in advance for any tips. -Matt

      For perch, target deeper bays off main channel that have lilly pads. Michi Aho has an old map available.

      Hey Matt, your best bet for musky is up the little bull canal into the river. There are a lot of bays but stay with the ones off the main river as they hold the ...more biggest fish. Not sure how bad the weeds will be but you could try a bay called Mud Lake by locals. I have had best luck around a few islands just upriver from the Little Bull Dam.
      Good Luck!

      2,400 acres? Peavy Pond is the biggest pond I've ever heard of!

      Hey Matt, Muskies are a bit scarce in Peavy but are present. If you want to try for them try around the islands in the southwest corner and in the narrows between ...more the bays. Pike can be pretty good at times, and there are some quality fish- look for cooler water. Smallies are good in Peavy, and you can try near the dam or around the Paint River where it comes into Peavy, and the adjacent rocks nearby. Just a quick note: be careful when navigating the backwaters in Peavy, as there are rock piles that do come close to the surface, so use caution. I would be very careful opening up my boat without knowing this waterway. I know of a number of guys who ripped apart their lower units here. As for the topo map, I fish frequently up in that area and never had heard of one. Not sure if this is because this is an impoundment and changing frequently. At the Michi-Aho, the owner, Pat Hingis (if he is still the owner) is a great guy and will point you in the right direction. He also has had some free maps of the backwaters in his bait shop in the past with some suggestions on potential fish locations. Use your electronics and look for the main river channel, and this could also be productive. Good luck, and save some for me. Safe travels.
