Alcona Dam Pond

I am heading up to Glennie to Alcona Dam Pond. HELP!! I've fished it before with very little luck. Any advice would be extremely helpful!!! Thanks so much!!!

we have our best luck trolling the riverchannel edges(as best we can discern) with neutral or white colored cranks and gulp products off of mini boards.. the clarity makes stealth and subltety a PLUS

I grew up fishing it every summer. What you fishing for bass,pike,or walleye ?

[steve48706]

anything i guess, I have used some top waters for bass but would like to find some bigger pike and some nice walleye if I could...

[Ralph Smith]

Leeches work good for the smallies, big minnows for the pike, and harnesses for the walleye. Tons of rocky's all over the lake shores and stump areas, just use crawlers. Don't throw them back till you try some, they're really good out of there, its a clean cool water lake with the Ausable running through it. As good as the gills and perch. Their fun to catch on a flyrod if a hatch is on, you'll see them everywhere on the surface feeding.PM sent.;)

right now there should be tons of smallies on their beds, site fish with plastic jigs worked for me last year. The eyes and pike dont have the numbers that the bass do but they are big fish. harnesses for the eyes up into the river works and anything big that makes a commotion will work for pike. A trout stamp isnt a bad idea either, last memorial day i saw a guy pull out a 24" brown out of the middle of the lake. gills will probably not be on the beds yet seeing how its been so cold but with back to back days around 80 a few might start moving into the shallows.

Thanks for the advice Ralph. I'll post as to how we I did when I get back after the weekend. Hope you all have a great holiday!!!
