Lake Zumbro:
As you can see by the pictures in some of the other reports, the fishing has been very good – even excellent some days! The shorelines and bays are producing some nice crappies and bluegills. Small jigs like mini-mites tipped with a waxie or plain hooks with minnows should produce fish. Northerns are also being caught, usually on live bait.
Foster Arend Lake:
Some real nice trout are being caught. Minnows, powerbait, waxies on small jigs, nightcrawlers, 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:
Fishing has been slow, but some bluegills are being caught.
Country Club Manor pits:
Some panfish are being caught. Try minnows or small jigs tipped with a waxie.
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.

Its really hard to go past a couple days now without wetting a line. So just ”have to” fish.
