I'm not a biologist by any means, but I'm thinking they still want to reproduce (and possibly try) right? Or does the biological make up of the lake cause them to not even bother to try? Is it a case of limited breading areas in the lake, in addition to the chemical makeup, predators, etc..? I'm guessing they just try and aren't successful. Are there any anecdotes from spring pan-fisherman of seeing/catching walleyes in the shallows during typical spawning time (theoretically before the walleye opener happens)? Thoughts? -
7,11.16 Sunset Lodge Fishing Report, nw Angle of lotw
Sunset Lodge posted a topic in Lake of the Woods Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
Hello again from Sunset Lodge on Oak Island! Hope everyone had a great week! Here in the Northwest Angle, things are about as good as they can be, the weather has been decent and just a few showers and storms to contend with. And the fishing has been good! The water temp was between 70 and 73 degrees this week. Stateside, anglers are finding that pulling night crawlers behind spinner rigs has been working well and catching walleyes. Depths range anywhere from 8 to 25 feet with hammered gold, copper, orange, and pink being the best producers. Areas to target are the flats and mud be -
Shagawa Eyes in July

Hey, I'm heading up to Ely over the 4th of July and plan on fishing Shagawa for some walleye. I've fished it a number of times in the winter and done pretty well. Is the summer bite typically okay? -
Walleye Bite on Bay City Flats
Deerstalker posted a topic in Mississippi River Pool 2, 3, 4 (Pools 5-9)-Minnesota River Fishing Reports
Has anyone been fishing the Bay City Flats lately? Or up near The Vermillion near the dam? Thinking of hitting the river this weekend. Heard it's pretty slow. But beats yard work. -

Sunset Lodge posted a topic in Lake of the Woods Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
6.20.16 Sunset Lodge Fishing Report What a week we had up at the Angle! The weather has gone from one extreme to the next. A few days of sunshine mixed with days of rain, and some heavy rainfall at that! Aside from the up and down weather conditions, we are still catching fish. Lots of limits being taken and a few larger fish being caught as well. Early in the week the fishing was slower due to a mayfly hatch, but has steadily improved over the last few days. On the Minnesota side, gold spinners with bottom bouncers and crawlers have been turning fish near Four Blocks, Little -

Lake of the Woods Fishing Report 1-25-16
LakeofthewoodsMN posted a topic in Lake of the Woods Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
As the weather warmed up, so did the ice fishing. Ice roads are allowing half-ton trucks onto the lake when not towing a trailer. Ice averages 14-17”. As always, stay on marked resort trails and talk with your resort about ice conditions in their area. Fishing in 24-34’ seems to be the best. Glow colors remain hot and the two way punch of jigging and dead stick remains the go to plan of attack. Ice electronics are key in catching more fish. Walleyes and saugers caught primarily in late morning with flurries in afternoon. Lots of nice saugers in the mix throughout the basin. The Rainy -
The ice conditions continue to improve. There are still some thin spots so just be careful the east end of the lake has been really good the west and has been pretty spotty as usual but when you find the fish you find good fish.

What's Wrong With This Picture?
vman11 posted a topic in Lake of the Woods Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
I think everyone knows what's wrong with this. Since it's snowing in Roseau I figured I'd check Sportsman's Dock Cam. Low and behold a guy kept his ice fishing weekend on track but brought the boat. Depressing and rare at the same time.- 4 replies

I tried this lake for the first time ever on Saturday morning. Arrived at the launch about 8 a.m. and I'd say the trailer parking was 1/2 full but was surprised to see people coming off the lake already at that time. By the time I took a bathroom break around noon there were less trailers in the lot than when I launched! Must be an night time/early morning bite on this lake judging by all the early risers and seeing as I got skunked. I was targeting walleye but couldn't seem to find them. Surface water temps were in the 58-60 range in most spots. One thing I noticed was that the Navionic

I was fishing with my bride on Labor Day. She was watching docks come in as many people were wrapping up cabin season on French Lake. She was lamenting the fact that the summer was coming to a close. I reminded her that this is our season. September promises the start of fall colors, better fishing and football. Ok, that last one didn't impress her one bit. I have already found that fish are more aggressive. The area lakes are filled with hungry fish. They are smacking jigs tipped with fatheads - orange seemed to be the color yesterday. No longer are they picky and I can usually put a

One tactic this time of year that tends to excel in larger rivers and lakes is trolling leadcore line for walleyes. Basic tackle is a large capacity level wind reel and a 7-9' medium action trolling rod. I recommend a trolling rod as the taper is made to troll nonstretch lines like leadcore or superbraids. A line counter reel can be very helpful to replicate your presentation when targeting suspended fish but leadcore line is colored every 30' and you can get by with letting out line by how many colors you have out as well. Leadcore line is a dacron sheath around a fine lead filament and t

Rainy Lake Walleye
Mike Walerak posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
Just got back from a week of camping and fishing on Rainy Lake. While the bite was not fast and furious it was consistant and good. We seemed to find fish scattered from 6 FOW all the way to 35 FOW with the reefs holding most of the fish. Locating and staying on a school and waiting them out seemed to work best rather that chase after the hot bite. We mainly fished jigs with crawlers, shiners and leeches but did do some live bait rigging. Neither tactic seemed to out produce the other. They seemed to show preference to one of the baits for a while and then would shut off. Changing up bait -
Bemidji Area Report/Update...
Matt Breuer posted a topic in Bemidji Area, Cass, Leech and Winnibigoshish Lake Fishing Reports - Hunting
Fishing in the Bemidji area has taken a bit of a hit, and anglers have to work a little harder for their walleyes than they did a week or two ago. The jig bite is a thing of the past, and people rigging crawlers or leeches on the breaklines are starting to out-produce the guys fishing with jigs in shallow. Bottom bouncers and spinners with a crawler is also working very well on outside weed edges and off the breaks. The crankbait bite remains good over the sand and cabbage, as well as around mid-lake rocks and rubble. Salmo Hornets in 6-11' of water going 2.4 mph has been working well for us.
