Bass remain shallow and active on most area lakes. Cannon Lake continues to produce a few walleyes along the shallow shoreline areas. Leeches and nightcrawlers have started to work better than minnows. The bass season started a bit slow, but Shields Lake and Lake Mazaska gave up a few big fish. Look for sunfish on Cedar Lake in 4 to 8 feet of water.
Northern pike continue to hit on most area lakes, but look to Roberts Lake for bigger fish.
During the day, vertical jigging over 30 to 50 feet of water has been most productive. During the evening hours, you'll find more fish in 10 to 15 feet of water. You'll also find lake trout on Saganaga. Anglers trolling spoons near the surface of 30 to 50 feet of water are finding more fish. The established weed edges seem to be holding better numbers of fish.
