Fishing Reports

Due to weeks of severe heat, fishing pressure has been light.  There have been reports of nice bluegill on weed/rock transition structure.  Also nice pike near cold water inlets.  Walleyes are scattered in 8-11', use cranks or crawlers.  Cooler temps w with chance of rain this week will hopefully improve the bite.- Wing N Fin Resort, submitted July 29, 2026.

Dog Days are upon us.  Hot weather has raised the water temps and slowed the bite down a bit.  Still sending fishermen to Waubay and Bitter for a bit of action on the walleyes.  Waiting for the weather to cool down a bit and recommending that anglers fish a little deeper maybe 18-20 feet.  Still using live bait.  Frogs have appeared on the shorelines, which always makes them worth a try.  We are still seeing some nice walleyes on the smaller lakes in the area. - Lynn Lake Lodge, submitted July 27, 2026.

We saw a good crown today even though it was very warm.  When it's dead calm, it's a tough walleye bite.  Same if it's too windy.  But if it's a 8-15 mph wind, they're doing quite well.  Heard good on Bitter and Hazelden.  But Hazelden only when it's blowing, not when it's calm.  Best choice for walleye is still Bitter.  Didn't hear much on Waubay this week.  Seeing some bluegill action on Big Stone and Clear Lakes.  Water temps are in the 80's. – Sportsman’s Cove, submitted July 25, 2026.
