9/30/16 - Reported by Jim Stroede Guide Service
Water temps are holding around the low 60's on Washburn County lakes this week. As we move into October look for cooling waters to concentrate fish all the more. Musky fishing remains strong here, as lots of fish are still up shallow and are catchable. We've had multiple fish days this week. Topwaters, shallow running crankbaits, and suckers have scored in my boat. Walleyes have been on the tough side from what I'm hearing. A pretty slow bite this week overall. Jigs and minnows or Lindy rigging should start to catch fish as they begin to pile up on rock bars and humps across the county.
Good luck and good fishing, Jim Stroede
