Warm-Ups

Don't get me wrong with this title, I do enjoy early open water fishing for crappies, bluegills, suckers, perch and stream trout. However, big water walleye fishing is in my veins and the grand tradition of "walleye opener" can't come soon enough for me. To build on the anticipation, Leech Lake is one of the best early season walleye lakes anywhere with loads of 15"-20" fish right now with just enough bigger fish to make things really interesting for fisher folk. 


The next 3-4 weeks should be silly good for crappies if we can pry ourselves away from the walleye haunts.



Bluegills picnic in the shallows on warm afternoons, they will start making beds and staying shallow as long as water temps continue to rise.


We have a few trout streams in the area as well, if you don't mind bush whacking a bit. 

Cheers and hook-sets!
