Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
Pictured is Mary Beth Scott with guide Bill Luney. Mary Beth's beautiful walleye was 26 inches, definitely worthy of her happy smile.
Guide report:
Walleye fishing has been great; due to the hot weather, they are being found on humps in 18 - 26 feet of water. White and pink jigs have been the "hot colors". Muskie fishing has been very active as well (see last weeks blog for an impressive list of those caught); they are being found on rock piles using bucktails #6-8 blades in gold with silver. Northern pike are along rocky shorelines and Mepps and spinner baits are producing big fish. Bass are on rock piles, crawfish colors of crank baits are working well.
Some of the nice fish being caught are:
Duane Kaiser (Bemidji, MN), a 25 ¼ inch walleye
Dave Hengel (Bemidji, MN), a 25 inch walleye and 17 inch smallmouth bass
