Lake Zumbro:
As you can see by the pictures in some of my other reports, the fishing has been very good. The shorelines and bays are producing some nice crappies and bluegills. The fish may move up shallow in the afternoon on sunny days, but have been deeper in the mornings or on cloudy days. They are staging near spawning areas. Small jigs like mini-mites tipped with a waxie or minnows should produce fish.
Foster Arend Lake:
Fishing has been very good some days! Some real nice trout are being caught. Minnows, powerbait, waxies on small jigs, small spinners, small rapalas are worth trying.
Chester Woods:
Nice crappies and bluegills are being caught. Try minnows or mini-mite jigs tipped with a waxie.
Willow Creek:
Try fishing 2-8 ft. below a bobber with worms or waxies for gills.
Country Club Manor pits:
As the water is warming, the fishing is picking up. Try minnows or waxies.
Boy Scout (Gamehaven) Lake:
Some gills and crappies are being caught. Try small jigs tipped with a waxie under a bobber about 2-3 ft.
Mississippi backwaters:
Some areas are starting to produce nice crappies and bluegills. Northerns are also being caught in a few areas. The water level is still high and some areas have too much current to be able to fish well. Try finding areas without much current that warm up quickly.
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 great selection of live bait including nightcrawlers, baby nightcrawlers, leaf worms, red worms, minnows, leeches, 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
Any Walleye/Sauger reports Mikey on Lake Pepin or on the Miss? You can PM me if you don’t want to advertise it.
I’m going to try and get out next week and if I do I will post a report. Take it easy!
