Metro Area Fishing Report – May 29th, 2015

NORTHEAST METRO

Leeches or fathead minnows are working best for walleyes in 12 to 15 feet of water on Bald Eagle Lake and the Prescott area of the St. Croix River. Sucker minnows are producing northern pike in 10 to 13 feet on Beaver Lake and Big Carnelian Lake, while lakes Jane, Oswasso, Phalen, and Demontreville have been best for bass. Crappies and sunfish are an easy catch in 8 to 10 feet on many lakes.

WEST METRO

Northern pike continue to hit sucker minnows in 6 to 10 feet of water on Lake Auburn and Pierson Lake. Look for crappies to be set up in 4 to 8 feet and sunfish even shallower on most lakes. Walleye reports have been limited on area lakes, but the Minnesota River is still producing fish at the creek mouths and slack-water areas.
