Any reports from these lakes lately? Am going to try and get my son out in the next few weeks before school starts.

Thanks.

Me too! Anyone have any reports on lake Benton? We r going camping there this weekend and not real familiar with the lake. I checked it out on the DNR site. Very shallow lake so my question is.... Water clarity? Weeds bad and can u troll and drift with lindy rigs without the hassle of weeds. I don't need your secret spot just want to know what tactics u use on the lake. We fish mainly for walleye. Thanks so much!

I don't have any Benton reports but as far as weeds, there are very few so drifting Lindy rigs shouldn't be a problem. I would focus on the points or any rocky areas you can find. Water is still probably fairly green as is the case on most lakes yet. Fishing should pick up as temps cool down.

Went by Stony Pt on Tuesday night and it was clean on the west ramp, the north east ramp where you launch was really green, so I went to Shakotan. That was really clean, still has quite a few weeds, and no fish!!

I've noticed a few other lakes are starting to clear up a little bit or maybe the wind was just blowing the right direction but I'm hoping the clearer water will improve the fishing cause it's been a long summer of slow fishing in SW MN for me!
