Summer patterns are in full swing for all fish species.

For the most part, many areas reported excellent fishing for a variety of species along established weed edges or weed flats. This is even more true for bigger panfish, bass, and pike, and walleyes.

With a few exceptions, walleyes have pulled off the shorelines and started to move onto main lake structure, generally in deeper water.

There seemed to be quite a bit of fish movement to deeper water this week.

Rapidly warming water has meant summer patterns have started to develop for most species.

After the cold front that arrived prior to Memorial Day weekend and carried into last week, weather conditions stabilized a bit more and walleyes seem to be responding in most areas.

It sounds as if everything picked up with the clouds and wind last weekend and many areas reported a better walleye bite this week than during opening weekend.

Crappies saved the week for many groups as they made a serious push into shallow water areas, such as bulrushes, submerged wood, docks and shoreline spots.
