Spiny ray

 

 

Diamond Lake has been good for largemouth bass. Fish the docks with soft baits such as a Senko. Sacheen Lake also has some decent-sized largemouth.

Liberty Lake anglers have been getting into some large schools of decent-sized perch, which is not to say they’re all keepers. It’s a good destination for kids, though, and size does not seem to matter to them. Silver Lake largemouth are hitting on both sides of the lake. Topwaters and deep-running plastics are taking largemouth to 4 pounds. Either side of the lake is good. Anglers fishing near Willow Bay Resort on Long Lake report good catches of 9- to 12-inch perch by throwing small jigs tipped with a piece of worm. Catches will often also include smallmouth bass and trout. It’s easy to catch a lot of smallmouth on tube jigs from Long Lake anywhere between the launch at Nine to Tum Tum. A few will run up to 3 pounds, but most are smaller.

Red Wing :

 Conditions on the Mississippi River have improved as the water levels have stabilized. In the steady water levels, anglers have been locating fish and then remaining in the area as long as the water level remains consistent. Anglers have been having success using light jigs with crawlers or leeches.

TANEYCOMO fishing

: 48 degrees, clear, low flow in the mornings with increases to 2-4 units most of the afternoon Outlook: Lilleys’ Landing reports: no real change, fishing activity has remained the same. They've been drawing the lake down over night so in the mornings the lake is unusually low, use caution! Fishing has been very good overall. There are a lot of Rainbows in the lake and they are bigger than normal. They’re still wanting to chase something, especially early in the mornings. Spoons and spinners are working well, either throwing and reeling them in or trolling behind the boat. Trolling crank baits has been doing well with bigger fish. The Berkley Pink PowerWorm is still a must for anyone struggling to catch fish. Fish it 4-5 feet deep early in the morning, then move it deeper as the sun gets higher in the sky, around 7-8 feet deep. Use 2-pound line as tippet for more bites, but 4-pound is ok. Sculpin/Ginger and Sculpin/peach 1/16^th oz Marabou jigs are catching big numbers of rainbows below and above Fall Creek in the mornings. Use bigger jigs when water is running more. The jig and float method with either a sculpin or ginger micro jig, on 2-pound tippet is catching good numbers of rainbows. A #16 to #18 weighted gray scud or a San Juan Worm or a Mega Worm should also work well, or try a Zebra Midge and a soft hackle if they are rising on midges. Wading below the dam, try the same flies.

Detroit Lakes area

: Walleye still are relating to the shoreline breaks, long extending points and shoreline break humps, but they are starting to move deeper. Bass and northern pike have been aggressive in the shallows. Crappies have started to move off their beds, transitioning to the outside weed edges.

Oneida Lake report:

 Walleye activity is continuing with decent action around Lewis Point and toward the eastern end of the lake. Bucktail jigs and blade baits are working well. Pickerel have been taking stickbaits and crankbaits and a few nice northern pike have been reported. Perch action is increasing and the bullhead bite has been good in the evening.

Traverse City: In the East Bay,

 lake herring were caught in 50 to 60 feet off Elk Rapids. Lake trout were caught from the marina when jigging or trolling. Lake herring were caught at various depths around Deepwater Point and north to the M-37 launch which was hit-or-miss. Lake trout fishing was good south of the launch off the point in 100 feet. Those trolling north of the launch also caught fish. Bass were caught south of Elk Rapids towards Yuba Creek and in the shallows at the south end from Acme to the State Park. Good bass fishing in the Elk River near the dam and the mouth. Leeches, crawlers and tube jigs worked best. A couple lake trout were caught in the early morning. Walleye and rock bass were also in the mix. In the West Bay, some perch were found in 30 to 40 feet in Bowers Harbor and north of Clinch Park or in deep water off Sutton’s Bay. Good lake trout fishing south of Power Island towards the buoy, south of the M-22 launch and at the south end of Bryant Park. Bass were caught in Bowers Harbor.

Chetek Chain of Lakes

Walleye anglers are having early-morning and early-evening success along the shorelines of the Chetek Chain of Lakes. Anglers seem to be catching them a few different ways at this time. Some are catching them while trolling small crankbaits, such as shad raps, Rapalas and Berkley flicker shads along steep, banked shorelines and drop-off areas. Anglers are also picking them as they drift the shorelines and points with these same baits and small spinners, such as the Mepp’s spinnerbait. Live bait anglers are also getting nice walleyes as they slip bobber fish drop-off areas and points with nightcrawlers, fathead minnows or leeches for bait on their hooks.
