October 1st Fishing Report

Walleye fishing on leech lake has been pretty darn good the past while and only looks to improve as water temps fall in Fall. Water Temps were 68 deg this past weekend with temps over 70 in shallow areas by afternoon. We are still catching most fish with bobbers and leeched /crawlers or jigging artificials over most of the deeper sand flats in 11- 18ft. Utilize side imaging until you find groups of fish. Locate the fish and spotlock 30-50ft away and mitch at areas holding fish specifically on calm days. With wind, lindys and crawlers or minnows as well as spinners can be trolled over the areas holding fish. Early and late in the day crank baits (#5-#7 shad raps) can be trolled over the flats moving 2-2.5 mph. Goose Island flats, Pine point flats and the areas around Annex reef have been good for walleye this week.
