Reports from  larger lakes on Hwy 105 have been good and improving everyday, our small lakes in the area are still producing. That local favorite in Ear Falls continues to produce great walleyes.  Betty and I actually tried to get a big musky this week along with a trophy walleye yesterday but it didn't happen.  We pretty much got skunked two times out, but we really were only looking for two specific fish. (40 plus musky and 30 plus walleye)  You'll get skunked more times than not when you look for those creatures only.  The anticipation with every cast is awesome when you are out for one bite.  Lots of good reports on walleyes for this time of year, mostly simple summer time spots, fishing breaks and humps, no real secret there.  The late evening bite has been the best, (the best Jerry the best) but with a nice chop during the day.  Guys are doing just fine.  The musky reports from others have actually been good.  One person yesterday caught 3 over 40 and a 30 inch walleye as a bonus.  A local outfitter said his lake is in the low 70's now and many more fish are being raised with quite a few in the upper 40's being landed.  Small Mouth Bass are still hitting everywhere, you can really have some fun on top water right now.  The "Kevin Van Damm" of Rochester, MN Jim Kostroski aka JIMMER turned me onto the swimn' jig a couple of years ago.  Definately a fun bait to fish for small mouth but what Mr. Kostroski didn't tell me was that the swimn' jig was also a great bait for 20 inch northerns, maybe he is the Spence Petros of Rochester.
