Minnesota Outdoor News Fishing Report – January 26, 2021
There seems to be better numbers of fish being caught in deep water this week, even after dark, in about 20 to 30 feet.

There seems to be better numbers of fish being caught in deep water this week, even after dark, in about 20 to 30 feet.


Look for water a bit high, not too high, and not too cloudy from suspended sediment.

In the most recent status of the fishery survey of Hubbard, biologists caught very good numbers of walleyes, smallmouth bass, rock bass, and yellow perch, and decent numbers of northern pike.

The best ice in the state is on lakes in the Upper Peninsula, where it ranges from 7 to 16 inches or more. Perch and walleyes have been caught in U.P. lakes.

Surveys of the lake, together with angler catch reports, suggest that Brady’s Run Lake offers better fishing now than it has in decades.

Right now, the highlights are in the southern part of the state, where anglers are floating the Great Miami River and doing well catching trophy-sized smallmouth bass.

With the ice conditions improving, more anglers are getting out, and for the most part, they’re getting into fish.

Use circle hooks, keep those you want, release the rest.
