The dreaded mayfly hatch continues on some
of the area lakes. It has been
starting and stopping due to cloud cover and
fronts. When the sun shines the
hatch reactivates.
Rock pile
and weed fish will be more active than the
edge and basin related fish during the
hatch. Walleyes have been in 19-14ft on most
area lakes. Bars that extend into main lake
areas, long points with deep water access
and mid-lake humps are holding fish.
Pelican, Island, White Earth, Cotton for
daytime walleyes. Big Detroit has walleyes
in the weeds. Cormorant and Toad at night.
The Pines
and Otter Tail have tournaments this weekend
so you will want to avoid those lakes.
Smallies are taking crawlers and minnows on
rigs on Lida, Island and Cormorant.
Largemouth are active on deep weed edges on
Long, Melissa and Floyd. Big
Northern trolling raps on Sallie and
Melissa. The Muskie bite is pitching
the flats on Big DL , Pelican. Some over
50's came off both lakes last week.
