2009 Water Temperature Information

[Justin Gaudry]

Water temps dropped a little with the 3 snow falls over the weekend, but not as bad as I might have guessed.

We had 49-50 around the resort on Friday afternoon before the weekend blizzards and cold temps, but saw it at 46-47 degrees on Monday. A couple degrees warmer being reported further out in deeper water basins.

I did see some normal temps in the forecast by the end of the coming week so perhaps the dropping water temps will slow down a bit.

Should be getting close to prime time now!

Getting reports of 42 locally and 48 in some of the deeper water areas.

Tempearture forecast show near normal for the period so perhaps a few days of sunshine will stabilize water temps for awhile and keep them from dropping too fast.

Water temps in the 42-44 range most places the last couple of days. Very cold temps in the forecast next week so that might be the end of the line for us up here that are still trying to get out fishing.

Water temps in the 40-41 range in some areas on Nov 5. Been about 37 at the dock in the mornings. A couple of warmer days should hold them steady temporarily.

Hope to get out a few more days before it's all over for the season. Will post a report when I have the boat put away for the winter.

Good luck to those hunting whitetails in MN this weekend. Thanks for leaving the lake for us diehards to wander the lake all on our own!

Last day of fishing was Nov 18, 2009.

Water temps were in the upper 38s and low 39s where we were trolling. Did see some 39.5 in the afternoon sunshine.

Hate to pull the boat for the year, but it's time.

See you on the water temp thread in 2010.
