Where the fish are today

Walleye 49% Smallmouth bass Largemouth bass Catfish

49% Fair chance for walleye today · 8–28 ft deep

  • Water 34°F on top, much colder than they like, so they move slowly and stay deep.
  • Best water today is 8–28 ft deep, mostly on channel edges.
  • The lake is mixed top to bottom, so fish can use many depths.
  • Clear water: they bite best at dawn, dusk and on cloudy days.

Best zone: channel edge, about 7% of them, 14–38 ft deep.
