Lake Zumbro: The bite has been fairly good this past week. Crappies and bluegills are coming more consistently near shorelines, but may move deeper if the weather is cool. Crappie minnows, waxies or worms, and small jigs will work. There are also some nice sized northerns being caught by accident when fishing for crappies.
Foster Arends Lake: Still producing some very nice trout and panfish. A variety of bait is being used including minnows, waxies, power bait, and flash type lures.
Chester Woods: Reports keep getting better. Some decent bluegills and crappies are being caught. Look around submerged wood.
Willow Creek: Producing some nice bluegills and some crappies. 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, mostly up in shallow areas. Small jigs, crappie minnows, waxies or worms will work.
Mississippi River backwaters: Some of the traditional areas like West Newton, Wilcox, The Dike Road, Finger Lakes, and some of the harbors are starting to produce nice crappies and bluegills. Best areas seem to be around submerged wood. Small jigs, crappie minnows, waxies or worms will work. Some northerns are also being caught on sucker minnows or larger spoons.
