Local walleye fishing action has been good. Depth range from 12 to 40 feet depending on the lake. Leeches and nightcrawlers have been the most productive on live bait rigs with a long Snell. A jig head tipped with a leech is also a good bet. Hungry panfish can be caught in 6 to 10 […]

Heavy rains pounded the whole state –obviously. This has brought higher water and in many cases current conditions in lakes that are part of river systems/flowages that get the fish going!

With water temps around the state hovering around 60-65 it has been easy to find just about any panfish in the shallows spawning, getting ready to spawn or actually completed.

With the water temps plummeting with the cold snowy weather we have been having , the fish activity has slowed a little bit. Basically the fish have been hanging a bit deeper (5-8 ft).

Crappies and bluegills are in the process of setting up in the shallows to feed heavily before they spawn in a few weeks. They can be found right now suspended in the 10-20 ft range in the colder lakes, but if you can find water temps in the 50’s they will be in the 5-8 […]

With the waters warming up in some cases to the low 50 degree range—so is the fishing. Look extremely close to shore—sometimes in 12-20” of water. Gently cast a light float and small jig minnow combo past the fish (hopefully you found them by visibly scanning the shallows with polarized fishing glasses) and pull slowly […]

It’s happy days again, the ice is gone on many Park Rapids area lakes and thus begins the official open water fishing season. And as the water temperatures rise so does the fishing action! Personally, I like 54 degrees for easy fishing, but decent fishing will start around 45 degrees. The easiest way to find […]
