Minnesota Anglers Report Fair Catch, Warmer Weather Turmoil
Fishing in Minnesota lakes has been fair to good as cool fronts arrive. In Ely John Anderson of Minneapolis claimed the top walleye prize with a 3-8 pike from White Iron Lake, following a 12-4 walleye the prior week. Reports from Park Rapids Baudette Detroit Lakes and Walker note mixed results with muskie and walleye catches varying by wind and water depth. Local anglers adapt, trolling deep over rocky bottoms and using heavy sinkers to maximize walleye results as cooler temps return.
