Walleye - Walleye fishing has been challenging for many this last week.  Successful anglers found walleyes shallow, in 10 feet of water or less. Large main lake points, close to deep water where the key areas to focus on.  Lindy rigs tipped with large minnows remained the best way to catch walleyes.  There was a few reports of anglers catching walleyes in 18-23 feet of water, with jig and minnow, but anglers fishing out there struggled to find any kind of numbers of walleyes. 

Pike - Pike anglers enjoyed a good week of pike fishing, as pike were active.  Size of pike remains small overall, but numbers of pike caught per day, remains high. Anglers continue to find pike cruising the weedlines and river mouths. Large suckers have been getting the most action, but spinners and spoons have also been effective on them.

Stream Trout - Anglers have noted a steady increase in trout activity on many area lakes this last week.  Streamers are now within reach of shoreline anglers and they have been reporting the best success right now.  Floating a crawler off the bottom, casting small spoons and jig and twister has been very effective on trout.  Large rocky flats and downed trees have been the areas to key in on.
