Fish are settling into early summer patterns, with walleyes biting in 18–25 feet on bottom bouncers and jigs, smallmouth staying active on shallow hard-bottom flats, and lake trout starting to move deeper in scattered groups along main lake points and flats.
Here’s the latest report by Don Wilkins:
Walleye– Catching a few fish on bottom bouncers with crawlers or minnows. 18-25 FOW. Getting some bigger fish on main lake points pitching jigs with plastics/minnows in the same depth.
Smallmouth– lots of fish on the shallow hard bottom flats still the past week. Spoons and squarebill crankbaits caught the most fish as well as suspending a minnow over the side of the boat while working shoreline.
Lake trout– some lakers starting to move deeper in more numbers now. The fish were scattered in small groups anywhere from 40-75 feet on main lake points and flats between the points.
