Fishing Report June 26, 2021

​The walleye fishing took a small hit this week.  The cold front early in the week affected the bite and the mayfly hatch that followed did, as well.  Fish were still being caught if you were persistent.  Using your electronics to locate the fish and having an arsenal of baits to entice them would eventually pay off.  Most of the fish were coming from the deeper structure.  Look for holes on top of flats or normal drop-offs focusing on turns in the structure.

Perch fishing was very good this week.  Most of the fish were caught in the backwater areas in new weed growth.  Some perch were caught on the main lake in deeper water using jigs and minnows.

Northerns have been very steady.  Trolling, casting, or fishing for perch and walleyes on jigs and minnows have all worked for pike.  I even heard a good report of a good northern bite up river.  Will be a good thing to have in your back pocket on a windy day.

We are entering our vacation time where fishing sort of takes a back seat to family fun.  But there are still great fishing opportunities in the coming weeks.  The walleyes should get back on track after the mayflies are done.  Perch are biting, and of course it is a couple weeks away from prime time for pike.  We have very few openings the next month.  If you have a family or small group we may have space for you.  Make your fall plans now as September dates are filling up fast.  It should be a great fall bite on Lake Winnie.
