Where are the fish biting?





 

 

Jon at Buck’s Hardware Hank filed this report: Coming up on the 14th is the big opener. Yup, trout season outside the Boundary Waters starts on Saturday. I’d imagine there are going to be a lot of folks heading up to their favorite rainbow, splake or brookie lakes. If you’re wondering about a few to try, one can check out Trout Lake (where I’m sure plenty of people will gather), Musquash (where a lot gather as well), Leo, Mink, Moss and Esther lakes.

As far as walleyes this past week, Elbow was still producing a few along with some perch. A jig and minnow was the lure of choice. Devil Track was also faring OK. Up on East Twin people were catching fish in 12 to 15 feet or so with jig and minnow.

Hungry Jack is doing fine on walleyes in 15 to 20 feet and the pike were also biting. I also heard about some luck on Caribou Lake in 12 feet.
