Fishing Reports

Severe heat this past week reduced fishing pressure.  Mixed species on crawlers, jigs, and spinners.  Crank-baits also producing.  Bluegills, walleyes most active.  Cold water inlets producing nice pike, with other species on fringes. - Wing N Fin Resort, submitted July 16, 2026.

Baby, it's warm outside!  And in the lake.  Water temps are rising.  Best bet for fish is in the morning before it gets too warm.  Lots of limits of smaller walleyes off Waubay and Bitter.  Hazelden is back up and running.  Nice limits of walleyes coming out of there.  North and south Rush have quieted down.  Lynn still putting out some huge walleyes, odd times of the day.  Bobber fishing up on Lynn in the evenings.  Mostly crawlers, some leeches.  Getting close to the Dog Days of Summer. - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted July 13, 2026.

A couple of tough days with no wind.  Bite was better when there's at least a ripple or some wave action.  Bitter, Waubay and Hazelden were the three busiest lakes.  But there's a lower success rate with no wind and the hot temps.  Bluegill activity is picking up on Big Stone Lake and Clear Lake.  We've heard good on the smallmouth on Waubay Lake.– Sportsman’s Cove, submitted July 10, 2026.
