Fishing Reports

Thursday, July 20, 2006

Jiggin with crawlers at between 17'and 20ft', Nick and Doug had a good evening catching 3 walleye, 1 sauger and a 29"northern. River temp is still in the 70's. Weather is much more pleasant up here this week with temps in the low 80's. Another group of anglers went out with Gonzo's guide service on the river one day and the lake the next. They did well both days catching their limit on the Lake of the Woods and pulling out a 24" walleye. Down-riggers were used out on the lake. USGS has the gage height at Manitou Rapids at 2.25ft right now with very little rain in the forcast. Canadian DNR has moved their fire danger level up to "extreme" due to the lack of rain and I'm sure we're not far behind.
