Prime-time walleyes on Lake Winnie remain a staple in our area. Be sure to check with one of our local resorts for information on their established road systems. Photo courtesy of Guided Ice Fishing MN.
Windy days on Winnie equal walleyes. Shoreline bites are still holding in certain locations around prominent points on the lake while the first set of humps off of main lake breaks have been getting more and more attention. Large schools are being seen in 22-35 ft of water. Photo courtesy Captain Jeff Johnson of Northern Drift Outfitters.
Typical walleye spots across Lake Winnibigoshish are producing well, especially along the south, west, and north shores.
Tamarack Bay and the Third River area have been receiving plenty of attention over the past week. With temperatures stabilizing, the walleye bite has picked up. Anglers are finding success in dirtier water, and traditional methods are producing some results. Reports are coming in of keeper walleyes being caught while long lining spinners. Larger schools of fish are commonly being found in 14 to 17 feet of water. Report courtesy of Lake Winnie fishing guide Captain Jeff Johnson of Northern Drift Outfitters.
Temperatures are starting to stabilize after a wild turn of events last weekend, and the bite is picking back up. Third River is drawing plenty of attention thanks to its darker, stained water, which seems to be making the fish a little less spooky. Anglers consistently landing good limits are still pitching to the larger schools.
Walleye Opener on Lake Winnie Was a Hit. The walleye opener on Lake Winnie didn’t disappoint!
Ice-out on Lake Winnie is approaching quickly. Warmer temperatures this week will help break up the main ice pack, and with a little help from the wind, we should see significant progress. Expect some big changes by next weekend.
