We fished Green Lake near Spicer on Monday and did very well on walleyes. They were in 32 feet of water hitting redtails fished with Lindy Rig type set ups and about 5 foot long snells and just plain hooks. We kept 9 for the two of us, lost at least a half dozen, and only threw one back because it was small. I wish we did not loose that many, but the minnows we were using were big and if you horse them too much, you pull them out. But the fish we did catch were very nice. In the 15″ – 22″ range. Beautiful.
We also caught a dandy smallmouth. It went about 4 pounds and he was deep as well. In fact, my brother went out the next day, did not catch more than two walleyes, but caught 3 more beauty smallmouths by accident. One he said went maybe 5 pounds. It sounds like Green Lake is becoming one of the better smallmouth lakes in the state. Lets keep it that way.
