Hock,
Sorry I didnt see this earlier. We returned earlier this week on Tuesday. When we first arrived ton 6-20 the water temp was 55 to 57 deg. On Monday our last day of fishing, its was in the high 60's everywhere. The bass were really starting to come alive and top water was just starting to get good. Most bass caught were of good size in Pipestone and around Clam Island. Red Deer Island was also very good for Bass. The Walleyes were just coming up shallow as we caught our biggest a 24" in about 2.5 ft. of water over rocks and weeds. The weeds were still behind but Algea was just starting to appear. the only live bait we used was nightcrawlers and minnows, but switched to Gulp Alive minnows when they were doing as well as the real minnows. Northern action was good when you found weeds, Muskie action was also heating up too. Both were being caught on #5 Mepps and Muskie Killers.
Food was excellent and the accomodations were as usual, excellent. The road is was nice and I think we made it from the asphalt to the lodge in 22 minutes.
Good Luck and have a great trip.
