Fishing Lake Winnibigoshish in the Spring

| March | 37° / 15° |
| April | 54° / 29° |
| May | 68° / 42° |
The spring is a good time to fish this lake, especially if you like fishing shallower. Most of the fish will be found shallower in the spring as water temperatures warm up. Anglers report good catches out of Cut Foot Sioux Lake and depending on the water temperatures, you may be able to find some of these fish stacked up as they move into this lake or as they move back out of the lake when they are done spawning. Find vegetation and rocks in the shallows and you should find some fish in the spring.

| June | 76° / 52° |

The summer provides for some tougher fishing for anglers who don’t know how to fish deeper water and offshore structure. Spend some time figuring out how fish relate to the deeper water, offshore structures and you will catch more fish here. Walleye, pike and perch can all be found offshore in the main lake during the summer.

While some fish will move shallower in the fall, you’re still going to find the majority of the better fish out on the main lake. They may not be as deep, but the offshore structure will hold good numbers of fish still.
