Our guides have been busy across multiple lakes and the early season patterns are consistent across the region. Here is a roundup of what is working.
**Mille Lacs Report**
Water temp: 50F. Walleyes are in 8-14 feet relating to rocks. Jig and minnow is the go-to presentation. The slot fish are active and limits are achievable.
**Winnibigoshish Report**
Water temp: 52F. Fish are slightly deeper at 12-18 feet. Lind rigs with crawlers are outperforming jigs. The quality of fish is excellent.
**Leech Lake Report**
Water temp: 49F. Spring transition is underway. Focus on the south end of the lake where water warms first. Spinner rigs tipped with crawlers are producing.
**General Advice**
Spring fishing is all about water temperature. Find the warmest water and you will find the most active fish. Slow presentations are key.
