Washburn County Fishing & Outdoor Report
9/1/16 - Reported by Jim Stroede Guide Service
Fishing has been great all across Washburn County this week, walleyes, pike, bass, panfish and Muskies have all been bitting.
Weeds are the place to be if your looking to get bit right now. A nice early morning jig bite is producing lots of fish in my boat, sun up 'till about 10am has been best. Bucktails and topwaters are catching good sized Muskies right now. Try fishing fast and cover lots of water to contact fish.
Good luck and good fishing,
Jim Stroede

Fishing remains pretty good on Long Lake! Lots of nice Blue Gills, Perch, Large & Small Mouth Bass, and a few Walleyes. Crappies are a bit on the slow side right now. Most all species are sitting just off the weed line at about 10' to 12'. We are done with leeches for the season. We have plenty of Crawler, Leaf Worms, Euro Worms, Waxies as well as Crappie Minnows, Fat Heads, Walleye Suckers and Northern Suckers. We can order in Musky suckers upon request if they are available with our bait dealers. Bait shop hours through September 30th are: Monday - Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 pm. and Sunday's 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. ( we begin our "Off Season Hours" October 1). We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Labor Day Weekend!
