The spring time offers some of the best fishing for a variety of fish once the walleye opener rolls around.  On the better lakes in the area, walleye, perch, crappie and northern pike will be in the shallows feeding around the new green weeds and along the rocky shorelines.  As water temperatures warm towards the end of May, the bass fishing starts to pick up in the shallows.

Early summer provides good fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and bluegill in shallower water.  Some pike, walleye, perch and crappie will still be shallow, but as water temperatures warm up, some of these fish will start to move out to deeper water.  Once summer patterns set in, plan on finding perch, crappie, northern pike, walleye and smallmouth bass in deeper water, while good numbers of bluegill and largemouth bass can still be caught fairly shallow around vegetation.

The fall brings a lot of fish back into the shallows as water temperatures cool.  Anglers can experience some good fishing in shallower water for a variety of different fish as water temperatures fall back into the low 60s.  Some fish will stay deep and then eventually most of the better fish will move to the main lake basins as they continue to feed to prepare for winter.
