Walleye
The Walleye have finally starting feeding shallower on the northern lakes. These fish are biting in the 30 to 40 ft depths. We have been catching them downlining Blue-Back Herring in and around main lake points. Look for the Walleye to pull up in the 20ft range over the next few weeks. A 3/8oz jig head tipped with a Zoom Fat Albert will be the ticket.
Bass
The top water bite has begun with big schools showing up on main lake points and out over the main lake channel. These fish are aggressive and numerous. We have been catching most of the fish on Lucky Craft Sammy’s. We are not seeing the size of fish that we have in the past but the number of fish seem to be up. Look for this bite to continue and the swim bait bite to pick up. The low 60 deg mark seems to be the best bite on the northern Lakes.
Trout
The Brown Trout bite has really taken off! Most of the fish we have been targeting have been up shallow chasing the Herring around. This is a good time of year to sight fish for the trout. Keep a Rapala countdown or a Rooster tail ready. Some of the trout we have caught have been in the 5lbs range and long. The Brown Trout should continue to feed shallower in the next few weeks. The optimum temperatures for these fish seems to be in the high 50deg range. Start looking for the trout to make thier way towards the creek channels to spawn.
Good Luck!
