Fishing Report for 10-22-19

Die-hard anglers that continue to venture out are being rewarded for their efforts. The walleye are eager to bite, and the crappie action has heated up. A live bait rig or jig tipped with a large minnow remains best for the walleye, especially at the remaining weedlines. Crappie anglers are having the most success when using a jigging presentation. The most active lakes recently have been Minnetaga, Diamond, Green, Foot and Big Kandiyohi lakes.

Water temperatures are in the upper 40s to low 50s on most bodies of water. Please remember that it is extremely important to dress in layers and wear a life jacket when out on the water due to the risk of hypothermia.
