Those bigger walleyes that typically show up in better number in July have started in late June. We are seeing upper 20's fish almost each trip out. A may fly hatch hasn't yet slowed the fishing to much and we are still finding good numbers and size out in 14-17 feet of water running shad style baits. The bite seems to move day to day with the bait. When you find it shorten your trolling pattern.

The limit streak has continue since for all of May and June. The bite remains excellent in near record low water. Water temps this week are around 80. The trolling bite is going strong with limits of 15-20" fish every day out and some bigger fish here and there. The weekends are very busy out there so please try to look around and think about what you are doing out there. I expect the bigger fish to really start going in July. Its been 20-30 fish a day pretty consistently. Look to 13-16 feet of water.
The hot bite on pool 4 has continued right through these 90-100 degree days. Fish are being caught every way we try for them right now. 30-40 fish days are common with limits of 16-20" walleyes being taken every trip. Summer patterns are starting to go with some bigger fish coming. I have June 18, July 14, and July 18 as my only day left until August.
The bite on Lake Pepin is what I would describe as good as you could ask for. Limits continue to be caught with 30-40 fish days still going. We are trolling number five WNC shaky shads and dragging BFishN tackle draggin jigs with a half crawler. Fish are mostly 16-19 inches and perfect for eating. The summer pattern should be picking up soon and we expect to see some bigger fish coming into later June.
