Fishing Report for 4-20-21

The recent cold fronts have caused a drop in water temperatures that have kept fish in deeper waters. Few anglers have been venturing out, but the increase in temperatures and sunshine this Saturday should bring out more anglers. For the most action, use small panfish jigs tipped with a crappie minnow or plastic under a bobber. As water temperatures rise, expect the fish to move into the shallow, dark-bottom bays that warm first.

Anglers will want to start planning for the Minnesota Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 15. And celebrate Mother’s Day on the water with your mom over Take a Mom Fishing Weekend, May 8-9. On April 28, women interested in learning more about fishing may attend a free Take a Mom Fishing webinar.
