The Mississippi River is a safe bet for walleyes in the Bena area in 12 to 14 feet of water. Jigs tipped with minnows are also working here. Bass anglers also are doing well here. Webb Lake started producing bigger northern pike along the weed edges. Walleyes are being caught at a good pace on Woman Lake in 15 feet.
Nightcrawlers continue to take the majority of fish here.
Weather No report. The majority of fish being caught are coming from 35 feet of water or more, although there have been limited periods of shallow water activity as well. Jigs tipped with minnows are working best in deep water, and crankbaits are the way to go in shallower depths. Crappie action has been spotty, although the few fish taken have been good-sized. Northern pike are hitting suckers and jerkbaits throughout the lake.
