The opener has come and gone for another year. The weather was dandy for this opener wind and cold, I am still shivering from sunday on the lake, Then we had the rest of the week rain, its been very interesting. The fish seem to think so to. Saturday was decent on leech lake, with quite a few fish coming in the morning in the 7-9 ft of water with a gumball and shiner. then in the afternoon it got tough for us the fish just seem to disappear. The pattern on leech seems to  to be the same for the rest of the week the water cooled down and so did the fishing.
Winnie had a glimmer of hope for the weekend with a few reports of fish being caught in their usual haunts. The river channel, tamarack, plughat, ravens and mallard all had some fish coming in on Saturday and then like the other lakes in the area fishing got a bit tough when the water cooled. Jig and shiner was the key for winnie in the 7-9 ft of water.
hopefully his week will bring alittle better weather and pick up the fishing abit we will see
good luck fishing

Jason....Winnie is tough right now!  Water temps still in the 50's.  The fishing does improve a little in the evening. High banks was producing some fish for us in 16-18 fow.  We need some heat and things will improve......I hope.

If the water heats up a bit the shiners will start coming in to spawn and you would think that would improve fishing a bit.

Any idea of how much the lake has come up since opener?

​I would guess it has come up about 4"-6" .... we have gotten around 5" of rain in the last week up there.

At the cabin I had about a foot of sand between my rocks and water on opener.  It is all covered now, definitely still low but greatly improved! Croz

Been wondering the same.We're only 5-6 miles from the Mosomo Pt. landing & when we went to Grand Rapids today early there was only 2 units in the lot.On our way back,about noon, it was only 1 more. FWIW,I overheard a couple of guys talking in town & they were saying it had been pretty slow over there.

Been fishing winnie basically the whole month of June.   Currently the fish are out on the humps. Mark the fish on your electronics and they will bite for the most part.  Key recently has been snell length 6-7 feet, and getting your bait off the bottom.  Crawlers were the key blowing up the crawler made a huge difference.  Finally caught some keeper fish and some 10-11 inchers have been showing up,which is good,to see.  On Wednesday we boated several fish and they measured from 10- 25 inches just about  everywhere in between.  Night fishing has been good  pulling plugs in 12-14 fow, Has been effective for me.  Seem to get a lot more keeper fish....good luck !   Croz

Gunner was out today and there has been a small hatch nothing major though.   Fishing has actually been very good.  Just hard to get box fish.  I've been on the humps pulling lindy rigs and doing well.  Not a fish under 18 since Thursday though!!!!

      Bite Continues Very Good

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.

      This spring I saw a lot of grouse and even a few broods. I'm hopeful for the upland season. Didn't see a whole lot of mallard ducklings this year but good numbers of wood ducks. I think the Canada geese numbers go up every year.

      Bemidji/Becida annual trip 2024

      By Dash 1 · Posted

      Just got back from my annual 3 day fishing trip to my brother's cabin.  My dad, brother, nephew and I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday fishing 4 lakes.(Evergreen,  Grace, Plantaganet and Cass.)  Caught lots of sunfish, crappie,  perch and a couple walleye.  Perch on Cass were 10-12 inches. Crappie were mostly 10 to 11. Some 12's.  Sunfish ran 8-9 inches.  Walleye was tough but managed a 14, 15 and 17. My brother and nephew did better than my dad and I. They have much better quality rods and could feel the bites much better, plus they used gulp vs our live bait mostly. They did better using 3 inch gulp than smaller ones as well. I'm definitely investing in a new quality rod. Plus I need to get more confidence on plastic.  Overall a very good trip.
