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.

Fishing Report Opening Day 2021

5/17/2021

Comments

 
​Opening Day, 2021, we had the trifecta of fishing!  Great weather, great fishing, and for the first time in several years, keepable fish.  There were smells of fresh walleye cooking all over the resort last night.

Most every boat reported good catches of 13-15" walleyes today.  Fish were caught on jigs and shiner minnows all along the west side of the lake.  Key depth was a little deeper due to the calm conditions.  Most of the fish were caught from 16-20'.  It was a stark contrast to the last few years where boats were reporting 30-50 fish days with no keepers.  We are going to be in great shape on the walleye front for the next few years.

Some nice perch were also brought in.  There were not as many as I expected, but that may be due to the fact that most of the perch were avoiding the schools of walleyes.

Northerns were caught while jigging for walleyes.  I cleaned a few over 30".  They were very healthy fish with solid bodies, a far cry from the skinny fish normally seen this time of year.

It was an extremely successful opening day.  It looks like it will be a great year to fish Lake Winnie.  We have limited openings for the remainder of the year.  But there are opportunities to get up and stay at the resort and get in on the action.  Give us a call and we can get you set up.
