What are the water temps looking like?

Wondering if anybody has any recent water temp updates? Perhaps we could use this thread to keep updating the water temps until its iced over.

I had a few friends fishing leech lake last weekend . I believe they said the water temps were 57-59.

We are headed to leech the 27-30th. I hope the water temp gets down to near 50 by then. Looking at the forecast there are not many cool nights. The perch fishing normally get the best when the temp is in the upper 40’s to low 50’s

I don’t want to rain on your parade but I have been going the first weekend of October for 15 years and I can think of 1 maybe 2 years where the water temps have been 50 degrees. They usually are 55-62.

That seems awfully low for this time of year.

Just talked to a guy who’s on the lake today September 18th. Said he is seeing temperatures around 62

Cooling down around here for sure after the last cold front, I hope this warm temperature that we’ve had for the last few days doesn’t bring it too high up.

That temps are 64 to 67 degrees. Its warming back up.
