Silver Lake is producing smallmouth bass, largemouth bass,
northern pike, and walleyes in eight to 10 feet of water. The weeds
of White Bear Lake, Big Marine Lake, and Lake Owassa are producing
numbers of largemouth bass and northern pike. Clear Lake started
giving up walleyes in 10 to 15 feet of water. Look to Rush Lake and
Linwood Lake for sunfish in less than 10 feet of water.

Walleye reports still are limited. You’ll find an occasional
walleye during the evening hours on Buffalo Lake in 12 to 15 feet
of water, but don’t expect any numbers. Sunfish and northern pike
have bit most consistently along the weed edges of most area lakes.
Look to Lake Ramsey and Maple Lake for better numbers of bigger
fish.

Parley for the area’s best sunfish action in 15 feet of water.
Lakes Bavaria and Whaletail are producing nice bass on topwater
baits early and late in the day. Northern pike action has picked up
again on Lake Auburn and Pierson Lake in 10 to 18 feet of
water.

LAKE WACONIA
The best walleye and bass reports are coming from low-light
periods of the day. The north shore and northeast corner of the
lake are your best bets with crankbaits. The inside and outside
weed edges also are producing numbers of bass and northern pike on
spinnerbaits. Jigs tipped with minnows or leeches also are
producing walleyes along the deeper weed edges in 15 to 20 feet of
water. Sunfish and crappie action is still very consistent along
the flooded weeds and reeds in six to eight feet of water.
