Fishing Lake Winnie

Lake Winnibigoshish (Big Winnie) is world famous for its outdoor opportunities. Fishing is second to none on this year-round fishery. Walleye, Northern, Perch, and the state record Musky all inhabit these waters.

If wilderness in a modern setting is what you are looking for, Winnie delivers. The lake has very little inhabited shoreline which give one a feeling of yesteryear. Once you have experienced the lake you will want to rediscover it year after year.

​The walleye fishing has been very good despite the hot calm conditions.  The fish are starting to migrate toward the summer haunts, with most of the fish being caught deeper than 20' of water.  Jigs and shiners continue to be the bait of choice.  Other minnows are doing well, too.  Fatheads and small suckers are starting to do the job as the shiners become more scarce.    Leeches and crawlers are starting to do the job on jigs, live bait rigs, and spinners.  Some low level light conditions are seeing crankbaits catch some fish, as well.  All in all, the 2018 year class is a welcome sight to the fishermen who toiled in the years where most of the fish had to be thrown back.  Some of the fish in the 20-24" range are still biting our guests hooks, though.

Perch fishing has really picked up with the warmer temperatures.  Lots of perch in the 9-12" range are coming in.  Fathead minnows any way you fish them are the best for the perch.  Look for emergent weeds or areas that transition from hard bottom to softer bottom.  They are on the prowl for crayfish.

Northern fishermen have been pleased with the number and size of the pike they are catching this spring.  Along with the normal fish taken while walleye fishing, assorted plugs and spoons can bag some pike right now.

All in all, we are surviving the heat quite nicely.  The fish are eager to bite, and the guests are all happy.  If you would like to get in on the action, check our website for availability and give us a call.
