The walleye bite continues to be excellent with most fish being caught on main lake humps from ten to twenty five feet in depth. Jigging with minnows and leeches has proven a good tactic and the trollers are also having good success with spinner rigs and crawlers.
The lake trout bite has been very reliable as of late. Jig fisherman are having good success in 85 to 105 feet of water. Proven lures lately have been the buzz bomb, heddon sonar, and the river2sea diver vib 65. Down rigger fisherman are also getting in on the action trolling in over 100 feet of water and looking for suspended fish from 80 to 95 feet. Spoons and spinners tipped with a medium large minnow seem to be the ticket.
Musky fisherman on Lake of the Woods are seeing numerous fish through out the day but getting them to hit has been a little more difficult. They are finding them on both the rock piles and saddles and a few are having some success in the slop on top water. The key seems to go back to the spotted fish later in the day and try downsizing to lures like the Mepps Muskie Killer. Crow Lake has been producing but many of the anglers are having better luck trolling in the evening along the deeper side of main lake reefs and the steeper walls with breaks. Lures proving successfull are the XRMAG-30 Series and also the Depth Raider Series.
With the warm weather we have been having the top water smallmouth bite has been excellent. Heddon Torpedoe and the Rapala Skitter Pop are both excellent choices right now. For bait fisherman both leeches and crawlers are the ticket for some easy action.
