Fishing Report July 4th, 2020

​The fishing this past week can be summed up in one word "hot".  We saw temperatures that were way above normal and calm winds.  That made for some hot fishing.  Catching had its moments, as well.

Walleyes are finally showing up on the mid lake structure.  The bugs are hatching and the fish are eating.  Look for a sunken island that has less fishing pressure for best results.  Rigs and leeches or crawlers is working the best.  Some walleyes are being caught on jigging Raps, too.  

Northern fishing is still very good.  Find the best weed growth and use your favorite method to catch pike.  You will not be disappointed.

Some muskies were reported on the prowl.  Jake had one eat one of the perch he was reeling in.  There were also four others that were hooked and got away.  So these fish are starting to get active.
Perch fishing is still very solid.  Backwater areas in dense weeds are still the best bet for perch.  Jigs and fathead minnows or even artificial baits are catching perch.  All in all, it was a pretty good week of fishing despite the calm, hot weather.  We have some openings coming up, but they are filling up fast.  With the Canadian Border closed, we are getting calls from folks who normally go north of the border to fish.  We welcome the opportunity to show them that they don't necessarily have to travel to Canada to have some good fishing.
