Has anyone fished intermediate lake? Up north by torch lake. I've heard it's good for smallies. Let me know if you have any info on this lake. I am going up there next week for the week with family.
I've fished it. Lots of smallies for sure. If you go north up the chain up will run into largemouths.
I fished it a month ago and noticed tons of crayfish, so tubes along the breaks. Guys said that topwater was hot and cranks.
I fished it for a week last year on vacation and did pretty well. Southern end of the lake or there is also a couple other areas that you can clearly see if you look a satellite imagine of the lake. Like T Bone said breaks are the best. I caught most of mine on dropshots. fun lake.
I fished it last Saturday and it was tough. Slept in and didn't go out till around 10 AM. I fished the prime spots and saw a lot of smallies cruising and they wanted nothing to do with baits. Talked to another boat and he said the same thing. Caught a few pike. After 4 hours, I left. I heard that Intermediate was fishing very well this spring. Did much better on East Bay Sunday.
I haven't been there in a number of years but it was decent for smallies at times though it could get real tough all of a sudden. Luckily, there are those largemouth bass in the upper lakes too for a break, or something different.
