Water temps warm.  Lake level normal +.  Primary bite continues to be bluegill, bass, catfish, northern.  Walleye bite has slowed.  9-11' depth producing most fish.  Coldwater inlets 2'=6' producing nice pike.  Crawlers, spinners, cranks producing a mixed bag.  Evening-night bite is better for walleye and catfish. - Wing N Fin Resort, submitted August 13, 2026.

Just a little more of the Dog Days of Summer.  Sending most of our anglers to Waubay and Bitter.  Fishing deeper than usual because of the warm water temps 15-18 feet.  Lots of anglers casting plastics on the edge of the weeds.  Find the weed line and fish the edge.  Looking forward to some cooler nights to bring the temps down and revitalize the bite. - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted August 11, 2026.

Hearing good things on Bitter the last couple days.  This is where most of our crowd is fishing.  Using night-crawlers and working well.  Fish have been in the upper teens to 20 inches , and good quality fish.  Didn't hear too much on Waubay this week good or bad. – Sportsman’s Cove, submitted August 13, 2026.
