August 2nd Fishing Report

August 2, 2024

When visiting the Lake Winnie region, stocking up on 1/8 ounce tungsten jigs is highly recommended. Northland's 1/8 ounce tungsten jigs mimic the profile of a 1/16 ounce lead jig, offering exceptional versatility. They are effective for trolling, drifting at depths from 6 to 20 feet, and casting. Tungsten jigs are also easily visible on forward-facing sonar units. Adding plastic, chunks of nightcrawler, leeches, or minnows to these jigs enhances versatility, allowing for quick adjustments to target different species throughout the day. They are essential jigs for fishing Lake Winnie and Cutfoot Sioux right now.

Fall crappies and walleyes are really firing. The big lake has been producing along with Cutfoot Sioux.

October 11th Fishing Report

Walleye fishing on the big pond is still producing well, as water temperatures drop and fish start to feed heavily. Many bites are happening across the lake, with most activity concentrated on typical fall shoreline structures.

October 4th Fishing Report

The Lake Winnie region has been battered by wind for about a week now. Shoreline fish should be set up and ready to feed for the upcoming weekend; however, it doesn't look like we'll catch a break this weekend either. With strong winds on the horizon, anglers should remember that the south shore of Winnie often fishes better in a heavy south wind, which may be counterintuitive. In contrast, the north shore seems to perform better when the wind is pushing in.
