German Lake and Madison Lake are the area's best bets for walleyes in 15 to 23 feet of water. Lake Jefferson is giving up numbers of northern pike on spoon plugs. Look to the docks on Duck Lake for a few good-sized sunfish. The weed edges of Ballentine Lake continue to produce quite a few northern pike. Slow-trolled spoons have worked best for bigger fish.
Anglers working the deeper holes of the Minnesota River with chubs continue to hit flathead catfish.
In the east, shallow-running crankbaits or slip bobbers and leeches continue to turn walleyes on the shallow rocks. This bite has been especially good at night. The deep gravel and mud continue to produce fish during the day as well. The rock reefs are holding good numbers of perch and a few muskies. In the west, the tops and edges of most mud flats are kicking out walleyes on slip bobber rigs and leeches or minnows.
