Lake Zumbro:
The lake has re-filled quickly from the recent rain and runoff. The water is dirty with some floating debris. The shorelines should be producing some panfish. Small jigs tipped with a waxie or minnows should be worth a try. Remember that this is an inland body of water, so bass and northern fishing is closed.
Foster Arend Lake:
Some trout are being caught, many are very nice in the 15-18 inch range. Minnows, powerbait, waxies on small jigs, small spinners, small rapalas are worth trying.
Chester Woods, Willow Creek, Country Club Manor pits, and other area waters are open and free of ice. They will likely be producing some panfish.
Remember to stop by Hooked On Fishing for all your fishing needs. We have some great specials on quality rod & reel combinations! You will find a nice selection of live bait including nightcrawlers, minnows, and waxies. There is also a great selection of tackle to meet all your fishing needs. HOF is Rochester’s fishing headquarters!
Good Fishing,
Mike
