***Fishing Report***

Walleye - Anglers continue to report a excellent walleye bite happening on area lakes. Much to many anglers surprise, shallow water continues to the place to find active/aggressive walleyes. 10-15ft has been where the best action is happening. Jig and a minnow or lindy rigs with a big minnow worked along shoreline structure has been best, but sunken islands have also been good.

Smallmouth - Smallies have largely set up, out on sunken islands now. Sunken islands that top out in 10-25 feet of water and are close to some of the deepest water in a lake tend to be the best humps for smallies. Large minnows fished on a lindy rig and worked around the sunken island has been very effective.

Stream Trout - Stream trout has been a popular choice for anglers as stream trout activity increases as water temps cool off. Shore fishing has become a popular choice as trout come close to shore. Shallow gravel flats has been the best areas to find trout. Anglers have been floating a crawler off the bottom or crawler under a bobber for best results.
