As in most walleye lakes, plan on some northern pike line bite-offs. The Gap, Battleship Point and the island to the east of Battleship give up some good fish each autumn. One- to 1.5-pound males are usually the most active early in the year with some 8- to 10-pound females becoming more responsive after the post-spawn period. A classic spawning area for Big Winnie's walleyes, the heavy concentrations are fished relentless-ly boat to boat at times, especially around William's Narrows. Ĭut Foot is probably the most popular fishing spot in the entire region on opening weekend as well as at many other times. Nearly 95 percent of the 35-mile-shorelength is undeveloped. The Mississippi River flows through its center. Big Winnie has a maximum depth of 65 feet and a median depth of 15 feet. There are also crappie, bass, perch, sunfish and bluegill found in the lake. The state record musky was caught on Lake Winnie and a number of large muskies prowl the depths of the lake. The best time for northern fishing is from July through October. As a general rule, the best time to fish for walleye is from May thru the first week in July and then again from mid-August until freeze up. Big Winnie is a great producer of both walleye and northern pike.

Check with your favorite NW Angle resort for options.Īs fall kicks in, many anglers jigging with good results. There are boat shuttle / passenger services available to the Angle. Up at the NW Angle… Until the US / Canada border opens, guests can travel across the lake staying and fishing in MN waters. Sturgeon anglers focusing on deeper holes with a 3 ounce no roll sinker with an 18″ snell of heavy line (60 lb) with a 4/0 circle hook loaded with crawlers and shiners. Trolling crankbaits or crawler harnesses still working and a good way to cover water. Most anglers are jigging with frozen shiners. Reports of some nice walleyes but still not the big run yet. On the Rainy River… More and more emerald shiners are entering the river this week. Gold, glow and orange are strong this week. Along shore try 10-16′ and out on the mud 22-28′. The jig bite has picked up tremendously, but pulling a spinner with a crawler or shiner along with trolling crankbaits is still effective.

LEECH LAKE FISHING REPORT FULL
Water temps have now dropped into the upper 50’s and we will soon be in full fall mode. The perch are just showing up in the narrows and should be in their other usual spots later this week as we are looking at some cooler nights. Jigs with blue or orange/yellow are a good place to start. I have had better success with rainbows vs fatheads. Try deep shoreline edges in Walker Bay with a rig and minnow (Chub) or crawler for a trophy type fish.
So even though the numbers are not in full fall swing the size is. Wind sweep points as well an 9-11 foot shorelines have produced really nice fish with most in the 16-22 inch range. Although we are marking a lot of fish getting them to bite has been a challenge. They are also responding to a jig and minnow presentation as well as rigging.
They have started to move back to their spring spots. He walleyes are transitioning to their fall pattern. Minnows also are producing perch along the shorelines in 6 to 8 feet, while trolling spoons in 10 to 15 feet has triggered pike throughout the lake. A jig and minnow continue to provide excellent walleye action along the shorelines and points in 6 to 10 feet.
