Walleye- Lots fish still on most main lake areas. 15-18 FOW has been the best for us and moving out to around 20-24 when the bite slows down. Slow death hooks with a half crawler and a small orange or green prop blade have been the deal.
Pike- Lots of northerns just about anywhere. Casting spoons or trolling crankbaits has turned up some good sized fish this past week. We found big fish in 15 feet and out as deep as 30.
Salmon- Tough bite out there still. Best depth last week has been 70-90 feet down with the gear for us. White Panel Salmon Candy 11” Optimus Prime flasher and glow fly and a 11” Salmon Candy Chrome stud and an Atomic Dolphin fly have been the most consistent. Leader length 28-30” and troll speed of 2.1-2.3.
