Musky:
Musky action is very good and improving with the cooling water. Fish are in various locations and depths, near weeds, weedline edges, humps, points, rock, other structure, and concentrations of panfish and baitfish. Suckers on quick-strike rigs, gliders, rubber baits, bucktails, jerkbaits, and stickbaits, and both trolling and casting, are all producing.

Walleye:
Walleye fishing is fair to good, with best fishing late in the day into after dark. Go as deep as 40 feet during the day, depending on the lake, but work shallower areas in evening hours. Humps, points, brush, and basins can all hold fish. Live bait, crankbaits, jerkbaits, minnowbaits, and plastics are all effective offerings.

Northern Pike:
Northern pike action is very good. Fish are near shallow to deep weeds and panfish and baitfish concentrations. Sucker minnows, spinners, spinnerbaits, spoons, swimbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits if it moves, they could hit it!

Largemouth Bass:
Largemouth bass fishing is fair to good, but receiving little interest. Check shallow to mid-depth weeds, brush, cribs, and other structure, as well as warmer shallow bays with panfish and baitfish. Live bait/minnows, spinners, spinnerbaits, stickbaits, crankbaits, swimbaits, and plastics can all tempt bass at this time.

Smallmouth Bass:
Smallmouth bass fishing is also good and getting slightly more attention than largemouth. Find them in about the same areas holding walleyes, from deep, hard bottom humps and points to shallows holding baitfish. Sucker minnows on jigs, Ned rigs, and drop-shot rigs, plastics, stickbaits, and crankbaits all work at various times and conditions.

Crappie:
Crappie fishing is good once you locate the schools and even better if you can stay on them. Look for fish moving and suspending in mid-depths to nearly 30 feet in lake basins, on cribs, and near other structure. Crappie minnows, fatheads, waxies, plastics, Mini-Mites, and Gulp! baits on jigs or plain hooks, under slip bobbers, are all producing action.

Bluegill and Perch:
Bluegill and perch fishing is fair to good anywhere you can find shallow green weeds and/or warmer bays with weeds. Waxies, worms, small minnows, plastics, and Gulp! baits on jigs, with/without slip bobbers, are all working well.
