Four Seasons Lake Winnie Fishing Report: Jul 28, 2019

Walleye fishing has been very productive this past week.  All the guests that pursued walleyes had success.  Northern pike fishing is going good too and I think the best method is the mixed bag approach, fishing the weeds on top of the main bars. 
Jigs and small sucker minnows are the preferred bait.  Some fish are starting to go on crankbaits as well. Fishing adjacent to the main shoreline drop-offs with the crankbaits is the best location.  Lindy Rigs with leeches and crawlers are working along the edges of the structure. Also, trolling with spoons and crankbaits in the weeds will catch fish. Focus on the best weeds you can find for targeting pike.
Perch are still the mystery of the year.  When you can't get a perch bite dragging a night crawler, you know something is going on with the perch.   Some fish are being caught, but the action is very much hit and misses right now. The folks that are having some success are fishing the shoreline weeds using fathead minnows.
We have some openings for the next few weeks. There is still time to get in a family fishing vacation before the kids go back to school.  Check out our availability and give us a call. — Joe Thompson, Four Seasons Resort 218-665-2231
