Leech Lake

 

Typical for this time of year, fishing has taken a turn for the slower in the past week, Jason Freed of Leisure Outdoor Adventures reports. There’s an abundance of bait in the lake, ranging from mayflies and crayfish to young of the year perch.
Anglers should look for walleyes on long breaklines in 12 to 20 feet of water, especially if the wind is blowing into the spot, Freed said. Walker Bay, Agency Bay and long breaklines on the main lake all are good places to start, and some of the main lake rock reefs and bars still are producing walleyes in 15 to 18 feet of water. Try working the areas with spinners, crankbaits or live bait rigs, Freed said; slip bobbers on windy days are another great tactic.
Muskie fishing should start to pick up as fish get more active on the main lake rocks and bars, and bluegills and crappies are showing up in emergent weed beds in 8 to 12 feet of water,
