Fishing Report for 7-7-20

Summer fishing is heating up in the Willmar Lakes Area with anglers reporting lots of action on a variety of lakes. Most fish have moved toward cooler, deeper waters so anglers fishing from a boat are having the most success. Those in search of walleye are finding them in the 10-15 foot depths on Eagle, Ringo, Big Kandiyohi and Diamond lakes. Most success has come from using leeches or nightcrawlers on spinner rigs or lindy rigs. Sunfish continue to be pulled from Lake Calhoun and northern pike have been eager to bite on Lake Florida on buzz baits and spinner baits. Anglers have found active bass around the deeper vegetation on Eagle and Point lakes. The best time to find active fish continues to be in the lowlight hours.
