Fishing Reports

Fishing pressure is low. Reports of good panfishing from shore...primarily bluegill on crawlers.  Some walleye activity reported on mostly white crankbaits and or white twister tails and minnows.  Cooler temps after the weekend should improve the bite. - Wing N Fin Resort, submitted October 7, 2026.

Mostly duck hunters in this week, and of course, gearing up for the pheasant opener.  Go to North and South Rush for perch.  Same old thing with Bitter and Waubay for walleyes.  The weeds are beginning to break up, so that makes for some fun shore fishing where you can find a clear spot to cast.  Heard a little bit about Buckshot Bay.  Anglers are using crawlers, minnows, and we are seeing wax worms being used on the perch.  Temps are cooling off, and that always helps. - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted October 12, 2026.

We've heard good reports.  It was a beautiful Tuesday.  North Rush was very busy with some quality perch.  Also saw some small white bass that you had to sort through.  Didn't hear too much on Bitter, but sounds like shallow is better.  Heard mixed reports on Waubay with some perch and walleye.  Big Stone is more good than bad.  Seeing some big bluegill and some perch off and on.  Water temps are in the upper 50's/low 60's.  The perch will become more common and should improve with the cooler water temps.  – Sportsman’s Cove, submitted October 7, 2026.
