Title: Intermediate lake
Post by: Bass slayer 01 on June 19, 2016, 11:02:02 AM
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.
