Fishing Report June 20, 2020

​Fishing this week seemed like an episode of "Deadliest Catch"!  The south and southeast wind howled most of the week 20-30 mph making fishing a real challenge.  Most of the success focused on the perch.  Fishermen were finding perch in the weeds in 5-6' of water.  Backwater areas were the main focus to find these fish.  A myriad of methods were used including: jigs and minnows, bobbers and minnows, bobbers and a piece of worm, jig and a piece of worm, jig and leech, spinners and minnows, shad raps, etc.   Basically, they bit on whatever you put down there.

Was an extremely tough week for the walleye fishermen.  Unable to fish anything but the southern part of the lake, they struggled.  Many reported catching numerous small walleyes and a few in the slot.  

Northerns are coming in, as well.  Most of them are caught while chasing perch, using whatever they are fishing with for the perch.  

The weather has straightened out the past couple of days.  With some westerly winds, the fishermen will be able to get out and establish some kind of pattern to catch walleyes.  But the perch continue to provide great action and good eating.  We have some openings for the remainder of the summer.  If you are thinking about a summer fishing vacation for you and the family, we fit the bill.  Look forward to hearing from you.
