Went to tampier easter sunday threw around a jig crawler combo and got nothing at all Fished around the dam area. One bite that felt big. My buddy and I threw around a topwater bait storm kickin minnows, just about everything. And nothing happended. Tampier lake........ wow 5 times fished there this year already have seen one fish. Can't wait till summer or even later this week.

there is huge walleye there, thats my main draw... only problem is there is an abundance of forage (gizzard shad) which makes them a little tough to catch.

This is what I think,

If you look at a map of the area u will see that there are 3-4 bodies of water connecting to Tampier, I fished there a few times last year and killed Cat Fish but I think the north pools hold more fish. Haven't gotten there yet, but will.

Here's a map 4 ya, use the birdseve view and u will see streams connecting the ponds

Tampier has been fished out for the longest time. Better off hitting up Busse or go down the street to Maple Lake. If you really look at the map the lake is a really shallow ditch with a few drop offs. I did chart a 20 ft drop last year on my depth finder, right by the culvert about a 100 yards out. Could be a false reading or maybe not.

i was there fishing last summer when the dnr was taking a survey... you could hear them across the lake screaming and yelling. there are walleye in that lake that are around 8-10 lbs. and thats all they would tell me.

yes i no there are walleye in there.

I have been doin some research from anthor site called chicagolandfishing.com

there is a guy there that is a master at tampier. He has been telling me that all he usues to catch them is a jig crawler combo. He didnt tell me where. He did mention the dam a lot. I will try the jig crawler combo this year

the best place i have fished at that lake is right at the base of the spillway... couple snag spots but good fish there.
