We are all getting excited
for the opener this weekend.
Look for walleyes to be in
shallow water on either the inside edge of
the weed line or outside edge. Fish the
edges of large flats that extend out into
main lake areas and drop quickly to deep
water. If your opening lake has flowing
water, look for fish relating to the
current.
This past week we
experienced a significant slowdown in the
crappie and sunfish bite due to the cold
fronts and a 8-10 degree drop in water
temps. With the expected warm temps starting
Friday and continuing through next week we
should have an improving bite.
Northern pike will be
shallow and aggressive after this last
stretch of cold. The Shiner bite should be
on for walleyes and northerns. Shallow likes
like Height of Land, Shell, and Rock warm
quickly and should produce.
Other Classic opening
lakes in our area include Big/Little
Detroit, Sallie, Mellissa, Pelican, White
Earth, and Cormorant. Our neighbor Lakes of
Lida, Big/Little Pine, Rush and of course
Otter Tail will produce.
