Fishing Reports

October night bite is on.  Steady South winds, and cooler night temps has improved water clarity.  Minnows and jigs producing mostly walleye.  Catfish are also active.  Trolling primarily white crankbaits in approximately 7'-9' of water is producing a mixed bag of bluegill, perch, bass, northern and walleye.  - Wing N Fin Resort, submitted October 23, 2026.

We are deep in the heart of our fall season, which seems to be pheasant and duck hunting over fishing right now, and after the last few days of rain, (did I see snowflakes?) we beginning to hear rumblings of what the what our winter fishing season might be like...

 Still seeing a few boats around, and some of our customers still have enough energy to try the shore fishing with mixed results.  Believe it or not, until a few days ago, leeches were still in demand.   The weeds have quickly broken down now, making casting from shore a little more lucrative.  Still the focus has been on the hunting, which has been tremendous in the area.   We are waiting for the northern ducks, and they are finally beginning to come down.  As always, the first week in November continues to be the most popular week for waterfowl expeditions.  

 Check out the photos on our facebook page, and get your ice fishing gear ready.  - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted October 27, 2026.

There's been a fair amount of fishing on the days with light wind.  A lot of boats on the water.  Mostly up in the Grenville area.  Catching perch in the deeper basin along with some walleye.  Didn't hear much on North Rush but it's still a decent choice.  We didn't hear much on Big Stone either.  Those fishing Waubay are in the upper 20's to low 30's depth.  – Sportsman’s Cove, submitted October 23, 2026.
