Labor Day Weekend on Hamlin Lake
We had a couple of fishing groups stop in the store over Labor Day Weekend with some great reports. Bluegill fishing was going very well with nice sizes being caught. The bass fishing was also decent. Hot sellers over the weekend were worms and wax worms. Anglers were looking for walleye but didn't find many. Overall, the lake was full of boaters and lots of activity which may have affected the fishing.
