Fishing at Otter Creek
Enhance your Bear Hunt Trip with fishing at Otter Creek. The lakes surrounding the Otter Creek Bear Hunt Camp offer excellent fishing for Northern Pike, Walleye, Perch and several trout species.
Bear hunting will usually start mid-afternoon so you will have time to send the mornings casting a line before you return to camp and get suited up for your bear hunt. For those hunters who have already tagged out on your bear hunt, you can spend your remaining days in camp at the lake while your guides and hunters are in the forest.

Fishing Gear Recommendations
Fishing tackle: light spinning rod & reel with some spoons, crank baits, small Rapalas etc. We recommend the smaller crank baits and Rapalas for Trout and Walleye while large Pike will feed on just about anything with movement and flash. For an old stand-by, well used in Pike lakes, Len Thompson spoons in 5 of Diamonds and Red & White patterns have been hooking Pike for decades in these waters. 3/8 ounce jig heads with plastic worms, leaches, or minnows are also highly effective when jigging for both Pike and Walleye.

Near and Far
There are a few fishing spots almost within walking distance from camp and a few more that will take you a few more minutes to drive. Green Lake is an excellent spot for some of the big Pike in these waters. Others are filled with stocked Rainbow and Splake Trout. If you haven't caught or seen a Splake, make sure to put it on your list. A hybrid of Brook Trout and Lake Trout, they grow faster than purebred lake trout and are much larger than typical brook trout. A great fighting fish with fantastic speckles.
