Leech Lake Walleye - Limit! A great fishing guide trip on Leech Lake

Being a fishing guide on Leech Lake couldn't be any better then right now!  Since fishing opener we have had a few tough days but the majority have been good and even a few of them I would call great!  There are not too many lakes in the Minnesota where you can go and expect to catch good numbers of fish and the size is just simply amazing.  My last guide trip is a perfect example of just that! 

I spent a couple days on the water with my now new friends, Judd and Bill, and what a blast we had putting limits of walleyes in the boat and catching big ones to boot!  We didn't let the windy and rainy conditions dampen the mood in the ol' Ranger 620 either.  The best part of being a fishing guide is you get to meet so many great people and not only meet them get to know so much about them!  Story upon stories we laughed and made a great memory!  And, not only did we catch some walleyes we caught some jumbo perch, northern pike, old rattle reel with a bunch of line, and a bonus rock bass.  A few photos below but with the rainy conditions we probably missed taking photos of a few...

If you or anyone you know is looking for a guided fishing trip on any lake including Leech Lake, Gull Lake, Cass Lake, Lake Mille Lacs or any lake, please pass our name along.  We truly love what we do and would like to share a day in the boat with you!

Walleye Fishing Report on Leech Lake

The walleyes bite continues to be good and is only getting better as the warmer days arrive.  The fish are still located in shallow water, 5 to 8 feet, and the jig bite is still strong.  I have been fishing with VMC Dominator jig tipped with a shiner minnow and the VMC Moon Eye Jig tipped with a Trigger X 3 inch minnow in the "shad" color.  If you haven't given Trigger X a try I strongly encourage you to try!  It continues to impress me and it is so nice not having to dig in the bait bucket every time you get a bite.  The fish remain on any of the wind blown points and flats.  We haven't been fishing any secret spots and most of the fish we are catching are in the Goose Island Area.  

Well back to getting the boat ready for fishing the next couple of days.  Below are a couple of photos from yesterdays fishing adventure with www.leisureoutdooradventures.com

Leech Lake Fishing Guide Walleye Report

Walleye fishing on Leech has been a roller coaster for me the past few days.  We have been hit with some drastic weather changes from a cold windy opener to flat calm HOT days.  The smaller eater size fish are a little tough to come by during the daylight hours.  The eaters seem to be biting late in the day and into the evening. 

Yesterday I was fishing with my good friends Dave, Jeff, Tom, and Wayne.  We had caught a few fish in the morning and like I mentioned above the weather was flat and hot.  It was about 11:00 am and with the struggle to catch small fish we decided to go off the wall and try something new since we only had about an hour left and the boys had to head south.  A pattern that has been so good for me when things go calm and hot.  It didn't take long and we had our first monster walleye in the boat.  Shortly after a few photos and a release we were hooked up again.  In the short period we had to fish we boated some real giant walleyes.

As tough as fishing can get remember, "There are always fish biting somewhere on the lake."  I truly believe that and sometimes it's a matter of work, work, work until you find out what it is they want. 

Good luck fishing and remember to visit www.LeisureOutdoorAdventures.com and come fishing with us. 

Oh and the pattern that we had success with...well...I guess you are just going to have to come fishing with us.....
