Labor Day Weekend 2026 found hungry fish!  Primary bite was jumbo bluegills.  Crawlers and cranks produced bluegill, perch, white bass, catfish, drum, and walleye.  Northerns were also active around cold-water inlets.  Steady south winds improved clarity along MN shoreline. - Wing N Fin Resort, submitted September 8, 2026.

We continue to see walleyes off Bitter and Waubay, deeper than usual because of the high water temps.  Lynn remains a force to contend with during the evening, tied up in the trees and jigging.  We need a cool down desperately.  I know we will be complaining as soon as it gets cold, but we need to fill some flies!  It has been a tough summer with the heat.  Let's cool it down and make it a great fall season.  - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted September 8, 2026.

More good than bad over the weekend.  Guys are on Waubay, Bitter and Hazelden.  Mostly for walleye.  We're not hearing much on perch yet, as the water is still too warm.  The bluegill bite is here and there, and we've also been seeing some smallmouth and northern.  The best quality for walleye is on Bitter.  – Sportsman’s Cove, submitted September 7, 2026.
