Walleye action at the Northwest
Angle has been great! The mayfly
hatch hasn’t finished yet, but the walleye bite is still hot. Jigging the rock
reefs has been producing lots of nice keeper fish and plenty of 20-plus inch
fish. In Canadian waters, Massacre
Island area has been one of the best areas, although most reefs on the Ontario
side are holding fish. In
Minnesota waters, look for the best action around the Fourblocks area, Starren
Shoals, and the reefs at Knight and Bridges.
Muskie
and pike anglers have been doing well, especially during the evening
hours. The fish have been a bit
lethargic during the day, especially when it has been hot with no wind. Double Cowgirls and surface baits have
been good producers. Bass fishing
remains good, and the water clarity this year has made for easy casting to the
underwater boulders where the big ones like to hide.
