The fishing has been surprisingly good
in most sections of the lake, considering that the ice has only been off for
about two weeks time. Water temps
are in the 60s in most areas. In
Canadian waters, walleyes seem to be popping up all over, from shallow
shorelines and rockpiles to deep rock points and dropoffs. Keep moving until you hit active
fish. Some nice post-spawn females
are being caught along with the eater fish. Smallmouth bass have been holding deep off the shorelines,
but will move shallow to begin spawning any day now. Expect to find plenty of pike in the shallow back bays. Lake trout anglers have been doing well
lately as well.
In
Minnesota waters, walleye fishermen have been doing well around Oak Island
trolling spinners and crankbaits.
