no real “hot bite” just some fish being caught 
Anyone fish Albert Lea lake? The DNR report shows an insane number of eyes of decent size.

Same thing happoend on Lake Crystal too.
BIG eyes (5-11lbs) dead at ice out.

Tetonka is generally a pretty good walleye lake. I haven’t heard how they’ve been doing this year, though.
Rod-man,
I work for the watershed district in town. That is completel false info. you got there. I am on the lakes everyday and there was absolutely no winter-kill of walleyes this year. The only thing I saw was dead carp on Goose Lake and Lake Chapeau.
I saw the DNR’s nets being pulled and yes there were a ton of walleyes, with atleast 4 year classes. The problem is that there is also an insane number of 4-6 inch perch in those same nets.
Area anglers are having a tough time catching the walleyes in Albert Lea this year. The water quality has been outstanding the past two summers, you can see the lake bottom all over (5 ft. max). I think this is making it almost impossible to catch them during the day.
If anyone has any further questions about the lakes I would be happy to answer them.
Jerad, How deep is that lake ?
I am in the process of making a bathymetric map and the deepest I found was 6 ft., east of the state park (besides the channel).
