Yikes........August! That can be tough city. Check this out.........we used to go to a Minitaki fish camp up by Sioux Lookout every year in August. We did several things to catch fish. Like PJ says the mid lake reefs are tops especially later in the summer...........we used to drift them with live suckers and chubs........big fun!

But our most luck on big fish was catching suspended Walleyes speed trolling. I have mentioned this before but you had to experience it to believe it really worked. We often got asked if we were actually trolling out in the middle of some of the arms of huge lake Minitaki. The locals couldn't believe it........even when we would bring back whoppers to the dock they would just shake their heads and go out backtrolling some more. Those were the glory years when people would be waiting at the dock to see what we had caught.

But back on topic........August......ugh! If I had to go in August again I would tailor my selection of lakes and focus on dark or stained waters. Williams, Conmee, and other lakes that have some color and are not especially deep would be my choice if I went back in August.
