Fishing remains good for all species, but the recent winds
and rains have kept water temps in the mid to low 60s. In Canadian waters, walleye anglers
continue to find walleye around reefs, points, and current areas using jig and
minnow combos. Productive depths
have ranged from less than 10 feet to over 30 feet on the mud around structure.
The mayfly hatch has begun in earnest, and anglers will do best by avoiding the
areas with recent hatches. Musky
anglers are seeing and catching nice fish in sand bays, weedy areas, and
boulder shorelines and points.
Smallmouth bass are still going strong on the shorelines, and the large
pike have been showing up on reefs and point areas and are being caught by
walleye anglers. A second big pike
pattern is still going in the back bays with heavy weed cover.
In
Minnesota waters, the Flag I. flats, Lunatic I, and Little Oak areas have been
productive. Anglers have had the
best luck trolling with spinners and crankbaits.
