The Walleye fishing is very good out of the northwest angle just like the rest of this lake. Good numbers of walleye are caught here with some very big fish up to 30 inches. Anglers typically catch their limits of walleye and you have the option to fish Minnesota or Canadian waters. This area also offers a little more protection from the wind than on the south shore.
Fishing the Drop-offs
Fish the drop-offs around the islands, points and reefs and you’ll catch plenty of walleye here from spring through fall.
Fishing the Points
There are a lot of points to fish here and they will hold walleye all season long. The wind blown points with deep water nearby will usually be the better points to fish.
Fishing the Islands
You have. a lot of islands to fish here, especially if you head into Canadian waters. Islands will hold walleye all season long. Fish the wind blown shorelines and the deeper water near the islands and you’ll find a lot more walleye.
Fishing the Reefs
Anglers have plenty of offshore reefs to fish here too. Reefs will hold good numbers of walleye all summer and fall, so make sure you have a good map to help you find these spots quicker.
Fishing the Rocks
There are a lot of rocks in the area and walleye will be found around the rocks from spring through fall. Early in the year, rocky shorelines will hold a lot of walleye and in the summer and fall, the deeper shorelines and offshore rocky structures will hold good numbers of fish.
Fishing the Weeds
There are plenty of weeds in this part of the lake and you can find some walleye around the weeds too. The new green weeds will hold fish early in the year and the deeper weed edges are better in the summer and fall.
