| Tunnel lake is
a reservoir on the Mississagi River with 13 miles of
navigable length and 50 miles of shoreline. It has many
coves, islands,several large bay areas with widths of
more than two miles. Water depths are extremely varied (up
to 250 feet deep ) with many fishing shoals.
The
water is quite clear, slightly tea stained. Weed beds are
spotty and scattered and form slowly as summer progresses.
Extensive gravel shoals are present favoring crayfish for
the bass and form good spawning beds for the walleye.

Tunnel
lake is known for it's walleye ( the season opens the
third Sat. in May ) but it's smallmouth bass fishing is
exciting. The bass may still be on their nests when the
season opens on the last Sat. of June and we have found
easier success for bass fishing in Aug. and September.
Each year large pike are caught and released-something we
recommend for all large fish. Pike go deep during the
warm summer months. Whitefish are caught incidentally and
jumbo perch and pan fish are there for everyone. Sturgeon
have been caught and stocked in the past by the MNR.

Our
rental boats are pictured here. They have flat bottoms,
fish finders ( Eagle & Humminbird ), two padded
swivel seats, live wells and navigation lights. The
motors are 15 horse mercury 4 stroke engines which permit
planing with two aboard.

We
have shorelunch kits that can be taken out to the lake
where many good sites can make for a memorable meal.


The
fish cleaning hut has running water and electricity for
filleting knives and good lighting for cleaning fish at
night.

Fishing
can be done into darkness right by Kuha.

Kuha
