This lake provides enough protection from anglers and other fish, as well as a plentiful food source, to allow many of them to reach trophy size. Portage Lake is a consistent producer of big walleyes that remain active throughout the summer, partially because it can be tricky to pull fish out of the dense vegetation and structure of this shallow lake. Try ¼ oz jigs with minnows early in the year, and leeches later in the year. The hungry post-spawn walleye respond to a variety of baits and methods, while jigging along edges becomes one of the most popular techniques later in the season.
They are usually in shallow water during the post-spawn period and move towards the edge of deep holes as the water warms. Walleye in this lake characteristically hold close to weedbeds, dropoffs, and especially in areas with both features. The lake holds a healthy population of non-stocked walleye that maintains itself.
