Brian Wall at Indian Trail Resort said some muskies are being caught near the shallow bars around 4 feet of water. They are going after bucktails and topwater lures. Northerns are scattered around the Flowage and are biting on the same lures that anglers are using for walleyes and muskies. Bass fishing has been good. They are biting on night crawlers around stumps and near the shoreline.
Crappies are near fallen trees and other brush and are biting on small jigs tipped with minnows.
Bass fishing in the area has been tremendous, said Mike Henricksen at Big Mike's Outdoor Sports. They are going after surface lures such as plastic worms, poppers and buzzbaits. They can be found near shore, around docks and under lily pads. Bluegills are hitting small jigs tipped with waxworms on most of the lakes. Northerns are active on Big Sand Lake and Web Lake.
