Has anyone been to swan in the past couple of weeks?  I haven't been there this winter yet, wondering if anyone caught any monsters yet or if you have any advice on when and how to catch them.  Thanks

We went there sunday and monday and managed to get a couple out of the hole on sunday, but only had one bite on monday.  We used a plain hook with shrimp and everyone i talk to seems to say that is all they use.   We were in around 8ft was the best luck just on the eastside of the airators.  Next time I go I am gonna take some worms to try, hope you have better luck.

We went last week, the flood ice was pretty bad.  There is a report on AO and iceshanty about Swan and the ice conditions.  We got there just before dark and fished for a few hours and only caught one

Hey Trev, we went on Sunday and it wasn't that bad.  There was no flood water near the airators at all.  You coming out on monday?

A couple guys the other day limited out casting roe sacs out. I caught some jigging a tiny spoon (since I had no bait.)

So what's your secret Jones, I want to take my parents out next weekend and would like them to catch fish like that.  Inbox me if you don't mind.

tatonka, in case you havent been out there yet, its not clean, typical garbage bags and broken chairs everywhere, me and my buddy picked up two garbage bags full of garbage the other day, still lots there, the worst part is that there are garbage cans in the parking lot......lazy f*#$'s

I couldn't agree with you more! as of this year the MD of greenview has taken over the campground so we should be giving some of these complaints to them and maybe we can have a half decent clean campground again!
