Walleye - Walleye fishing continues to improve for many anglers, as anglers start figuring out what the walleyes are doing and how to get them to bite.  Orange continues to be repeated as the color that catches the majority of walleyes.  Rippin raps and loud buckshot spoons are not only calling walleyes in, but triggering bites from walleyes after dark. Depths range from 16-24 feet of water. 

Pike - Pike fishing has remained good, but angler interest has fallen off.  Big pike continue to be caught in and around weedbeds and river mouths on large suckers or dead smelt.  10 feet of water or less has remained best.

Panfish - Panfish continue to be found deeper and deeper, this last week. Anglers reported marking fish, but could only watch as they would come up and go back down. Small tungsten jigs tipped with wax worms was key for bluegill anglers.  Soft plastics worked for some crappie anglers, but small tungsten jigs tipped with a crappie minnow work best.
