  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Across Price County, recorded fish include yellow perch, walleye and northern pike. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Sailor Creek Flowage decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 10°F in January and 66°F in July. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid April until roughly late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Time your trip to Sailor Creek Flowage by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Sweeney Lake, 0.8 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Sailor Creek Flowage for certain.
