Well what a strange winter. I predict walleye spawning and fire season will be 3 weeks early, that means we will for sure be post-spawn fishing opener in mid May…change your tactics up a bit!

December is known as makoshkish giizis or ‘joyful moon’ in Pimachiowin Aki. The average winter temperature is minus 18 degrees Celsius. Lakes, rivers and waterways begin to freeze. In early December people harvest moose, ducks, geese and beaver to prepare for winter.

Nice lake trout

***Fishing Report***

Walleye - Walleye fishing has been good to excellent for many anglers this last week. Reports continue to come in, of anglers catching nice walleyes right off their docks during the evening hours, on many area lakes. Here jigs tipped with either half a crawler or with a minnow has been most effective when fished in 10 feet of water or less. Other anglers have reported catching good numbers of walleyes jigging with jigs tipped with pike suckers around sunken islands in 25-30 feet of water. Trolling large crankbaits, with leadcore, over large, deep water flats, in 25-30 feet of water has also been very effective for anglers.

Smallmouth Bass - Bass anglers continue to find more and more smallies setting up, out on deep mid-lake humps. Here anglers are, more often then not, catching them while looking for walleyes. These smallies have been hammering larger minnows like big pike suckers, tipped on a jig. For the rest of the smallies that haven’t moved out, they are hitting hitting spinnerbaits, beetle spins, crankbaits and even some topwater bait, yet. Anglers should expect the topwater bite to really cool off as water temps continue to drop.

Crappies - Crappie fishing is where the best fishing is being found right now. Anglers fishing all over have been reporting excellent crappie bites happening. Schools of crappies are being found in and around just about anything they can relate too. Downed trees, lily pads and cabbage beds have all been holding good numbers of crappies. Small jig, tipped with a minnow, jig and twister and small beetle spins have been very effective.

Lake Trout - With cooler water temps, there has been a sudden jump in lake trout reports. Angler have been catching quality lakers trolling deep diving crankbaits or trolling, trolling spoons with either leadcore or down riggers. Anglers have been finding them anywhere from 35-50 feet down in 40-90 feet of water. Look for schools of bait and you will find lakers!

***Fishing Report***

Walleye - Walleyes seemed to have settled in, in the 10-15 feet of water as the majority of good reports continue to from here. Anglers have been having good luck trolling spinner rigs out around islands and sunken islands during the evening hours. Anglers have also been reporting good luck trolling deep diving crankbaits during the evening hours on many area lakes. Best lakes for this have been lakes with strong cisco populations.

Bass - Little has changed with the excellent bass fishing on many area lakes. Early morning topwater bite remains excellent for both smallmouth and largemouth bass. Here whopper ploppers, pop-r and torpedoes have been very effective on smallmouth, but for largemouth bass anglers have been having better luck fishing frogs in thick cover. As the sun gets up, throwing in-line spinners, spinnerbaits and soft plastics keep anglers busy catching fish.

Panfish - Sunfish and crappie fishing continues to be very good for many anglers. Anglers report finding both in either on weedlines or in thick stands to weeds. Anglers have been catching fish with jig and twisters, casted around weedlines and lily pads. If the bite slows, simply switching to jigs tipped with a piece of a crawler or wax worms have help get the picky biters to bite. Crappie minnows have been more effective for crappies.
