June 27th Fishing Report

June 27, 2025

Walleye fishing has remained steady. It’s that time of year where multiple approaches are starting to work well consistently. Spinners, bobbers, jigs with live bait are all producing during the day. Mid lake bars and humps have plenty of schools of fish while traditional shoreline areas are still holding good numbers. Photo courtesy Captain Jeff Johnson of Northern Drift Outfitters.

May 29th Fishing Report

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.

May 23rd Fishing Report

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.
