Fishing Reports

Fish are on structure or off in the shallower mud flats.  Bottom bouncers and spinners with crawlers are best.  8-17 feet. - The Galley Hotel, Bar & Grill, submitted June 25, 2025

Lake Traverse continues to produce great fishing.  Lake level is above normal.  Waters have warmed with bluegills joining the crappie bite.  Walleye limits are common.  Northern are concentrated around cold water inlets.  Both live bait and plastics are producing fish. - Wing N Fin Resort, submitted June 25, 2025

Again this week, we fight the wind and the rain, but in between the big fish keep biting.  Most of the bite remains the same, small walleyes on Waubay and Bitter, with some occasional giants.  The erratic temps make it difficult to know what presentation is the best.  We suggest trying them all.  Evening on Lynn is the best time to be there.  The walleye bite is slower on Lynn and Middle Lynn, but the quality is worth waiting for.  Still seeing a lot of muskies caught and released.  Many stories to go along with that!  It's been a good summer so far.  Not complaining about the rain....yet.  - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted June 25, 2025

Swan: hearing of some walleyes and northerns being caught along weedlines.  Drywood by Sisseton: hearing tons of northerns casting along weedlines and breaks with some eyes being caught.  Clear:  blue gills and crappies are in the weeds or along the outsides of them. Bobbers or small jigs with crawlers.  Bluegills and sun fish are biting on Enemy Swim!  - The Galley Hotel, Bar & Grill, submitted June 25 2025

Good bite over the weekend even though it was very hot.  Bitter did well with most using the west access.  Got good reports off of both Rush lakes.  Waubay was not too bad with guys doing well.  There's a good bluegill bite in the region.  Water is in the 70's and access are working well.  – Sportsman’s Cove, submitted June 23, 2025
