"Business has been very good. We're filling the cabins, and also our RV overflow sites. Some have mentioned your site. Thanks for your help!"

Spirit Lake (Dickinson): Casting crankbaits at night from shore or slip bobber fishing with leeches at night is producing walleyes. Crappies have begun moving to the North Grade, with fish up to 13 inches being caught. Use a bobber and a minnow or a small jig. The spawn is approaching so target transition areas between the main lake and spawning beds. Largemouth bass are moving to the Grade and Buffalo Run. Anglers are catching large bullheads at the Grade on night crawlers. Yellow perch are biting at Buffalo Run, but some sorting is required for larger fish.

East Okoboji Lake (Dickinson): For white bass, fish wind blown shorelines with white jigs. Anglers targeting walleyes should fish at night, working narrow profiled crankbaits close to shore.

West Okoboji Lake (Dickinson): Anglers catching keeper-sized walleyes are fishing with leeches under a slip bobber or trolling at night with crankbaits. The Triboji area is producing 8-inch bluegills using small jigs tipped with bait.

Silver Lake (Dickinson): Anglers are catching walleyes casting jigs or crankbaits from shore at night, or drift fishing with leeches in the evening.

Black Hawk Lake (Sac): Fishing is good for 7 to 9-inch bullheads near the inlet bridge. A few yellow bass are being caught on the windy side of the lake near the rocks.

Storm Lake (Buena Vista): Fishing is good to excellent for white bass on twisters or spinners, and fair to good for walleye on twisters. Don't forget the 17 to 22-inch slot on walleye in Storm Lake. All walleye in that range must be returned unharmed to the lake. Some nice crappies are being caught on live minnows under a bobber in the marina. Catfish have been good on the inlet jetty on a variety of baits.

Clear Lake (Cerro Gordo): Walleye fishing has been good on the reefs, rocky shorelines and trolling the north shoreline. Jig and minnow combinations are working around the reefs and trolling crankbaits is the best technique along the north shore. Yellow bass fishing is good around the reefs, the island, and the east shoreline. Small jigs, minnows, and cut bait work the best for the yellow bass. A few white bass are being caught while walleye and yellow bass fishing.

Little Wall Lake (Hamilton): Channel catfish are being caught on the north jetty using minnows and cut bait fished on or near the bottom.

Lake Cornelia (Wright): Bullhead fishing is excellent for 8 to 10-inch fish using night crawlers on the bottom
