PERCH BITE IS EXCELLENT WALLEYE BITE STILL SLOW ON LEECH LAKE
The weather for this coming week looks good with the temp’s average except for one day and just maybe we will get a wind in the same direction for more than one day. With the wind blowing in a different direction most days this past week it was hard to put a finger on where to get a consistent walleye bite but Walker Bay on the Humps would be a good place to give it a try and I have been finding a few walleyes in the Walker Narrows fishing with a jig and a minnow. The evening fishing for walleye using crankbaits is still attacking the most anglers and the most consistent spots are the Walker Sand Point Cedar Point area and in the main lake look to Pine Point and Star Point along with Stony Point. Portage Bay and Pelican Island area is still active for the musky angler and look to the rice beds for bass action in Steamboat bay and Miller Bay. The best action on Leech Lake this past week for me was the Jumbo Perch bite which is early in the season but still good. The hot spot for the perch bite has been in the Walker Narrows both the main lake side and Walker Bay side and the Mounds Point area in Steamboat Bay along with Walker Bay Erickson Landing. The Multi colored jig tipped with a fathead minnow is a good choice to catch some perch.The Leech Lake Area Chamber can set you up for the perfect outing by calling 800-833-1118.
