January 24th Fishing Report

January 24, 2024

Walleye action has been on and off, and it depends on the day, but when it’s on, anglers are catching big numbers of fish. Work the breaks and main-lake structure in 22 to 30 feet during the day or 15 to 23 feet during low-light periods. The evening hours and after dark have been a bit more productive. Pike and perch continue to be mixed with the walleyes, but you will have to sort through a lot of small fish. Trucks are being used out of many resorts, and ATVs are good to go throughout the lake. Continue to work through resorts for up-to-date road and ice conditions.

October 25th Fishing Report

Temperatures in the north country are definitely dropping. Fishing on Lake Winnie has remained steady, with anglers reporting great days still.

October 18th Fishing Report

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.
