Leech Reports?

[AJ]

I am going up to Leech this weekend and was wondering how folks were doing. Perch? Walleyes? Good depths/times? Also, how is the ice? Thanks in advance.

Fished Leech last weekend. Ice conditions were good, with 16"+ in most areas. Caught some nice perch in the Sand Point area. Walleye action on the humps in Walker Bay was slow. Keep on the move to find the larger perch.

Thanks, Mike. I will post to the forum after the weekend.

Does anyone have any new reports for Leech? How's the walleye and perch bites? Are there good ice conditions on most of the lake? I'm going up this weekend and was hoping for a little information. Thanks in advance.

Fished Leech this weekend. Walker Bay has 16 inches of ice, several more inches will be added over the next few days. Almost no snow. Cars all over the place. Handful of people out on Agency Bay, no cars.<BR>I had some decent success with perch in 12 - 18 feet of water. One nice bonus walleye during the day and a small one in the evening. The people I spoke with are having SLOW fishing. I think I did better than most. Needed to stay mobile and fished areas away from the crowds to get decent perch. Lots of baby ones around. I do well where the pikey weed meets the sand, before the larger breaks. Everything was caught on minnows. Swedish Pimple with a minnow head worked best for perch.
