Not much change from last week!
Lake Zumbro: The bite has been slow with the cool water temps. Look for submerged wood to produce some fish. The fish will be at varying depths, so you will need to do some work to figure out where they are at on any particular day. As the water warms up, they will tend to be shallow much of the time. Crappie minnows, waxies or worms, and small jigs will work.
Foster Arends Lake: Still producings some very nice trout. A variety of bait is being used including minnows, waxies, power bait, and flash type lures. Small panfish are also being caught.
Chester Woods: Still been slow, but the fish being caught are nice size.
Willow Creek: Producing some nice bluegills and some crappies, usually a little deeper water. Small jigs, crappie minnows, waxies or worms will work.
Country Club pits: Producing some sunfish and crappies.
Game Haven: Producing quite a few fish at times, although they tend to be on the small side. Small jigs, crappie minnows, waxies or worms will work.
Mississippi River backwaters: The traditional areas like West Newton, Wilcox, The Dike Road, Finger Lakes, some of the harbors are starting to producing crappies and bluegills. Small jigs, crappie minnows, waxies or worms will work.
