EAST LYNN LAKE
Wayne County's 1,005-acre East Lynn Lake is my choices for top walleye waters. . East Lynn is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
It produced the current state-record saugeye.
The Lick Creek arms of the lake feature fairly shallow water. They can be somewhat turbid, particularly during rainy periods. Water clarity near the dam is usually clear.
Gizzard shad contribute heavily to East Lynn Lake's forage base and are largely responsible for the excellent growth rates in both walleyes and saugeyes. Saugeyes in the 24- to 25-inch class come from the lake. Three-year-old walleyes reach an astounding 18 to 20 inches.
A tail water fishery is also present at East Lynn Lake and can provide excellent fishing at times.
