Detroit Lakes, Minnesota Fishing Reports

This is the Fishing Report for 2 February 2012 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You may also hear this report by calling 218.847.5743 or 1.800.433.1888.

We are back to mild temps with good ice conditions in the DetroitLakes area. It will be the kind of week that you can sit on a bucket and enjoy the action. We will get rid of some of our snow cover. Lake travel is easy now for snowmobile, ATV, cars & trucks. A few accesses are still hampered with shoreline ice heaves. The accesses have been dealt with on most of the commonly fished lakes.

A reminder, do not cross pressure ridges out on the lake and stay away from current areas, especially during these more mild temps.

I have not been out since Saturday night. Caught 4 walleyes in the 15-19” range and had a couple come unbuttoned. Fished about two hours, but typical for this time of year the action was during a 45min window that started just as the sun hit the tree line. Buckshot rattle jigging spoons tipped with minnow heads in 12-14ft on a weed edge was the trick. Reports are the pan fish bite is active and the perch bite has really picked up over the last week or two.
