The end of May was great for fishing walleye in the Otter Tail Lake area.  We hope this continues with all of the weather changes, it's like playing a game.  Win one day and then not so great the next.  But Memorial Day weekend was a lot of fun for most fishermen.
 
You'll find walleye in the 14 to 20 foot range.  Shiners are still the best producers.
 
Bass opener was one of the best.  Our bass fishermen had the most success in using Sally Jigs.  Folks think of the Otter Tail Lake area as a walleye capital - love to tell you - we have a lot of action with bass as well!

Fishing in the Otter Tail Lake area continues to be great!  Walleyes are being caught in 8 to 16 feet of water.  A jig & shiner or Lindy Rig and shiner are the best combos right now.
Crappies and sunfish are going on the smaller lakes in 6 to 14 feet of water.
Bass opener is this coming weekend and they are going to be active along the weed edges in shallow water.  Our area is growing in bass awareness, most think of us as walleye country  - come up and check it out.
There was a tournament on Otter Tail this past weekend and the winning weight for 12 fish was 34 pounds.  Beautiful fish and lots of them.  Everyone brought in a nice catch and had a great time!

Although weather was a factor on Saturday, opening fishing weekend ended sunny and nice conditions for fishing!

You found most boats looking for calmer water - a lot hung around the river inlet and many found success early in the morning in the shallows.

As the day progressed, folks moved to the breaklines on Otter Tail Lake and they continued to find fish. 

Shiners and a Lindy Rig were the ticket for most fishermen as water temps were in the low 50's. 

The weekend ended with a sunny Sunday and most fish caught were in the 15 to 25 foot depth range.  As the temps rise. the shiners began running today (Monday) so we hope to see a greater supply of them.

This Friday and Saturday, the Wild 104 tournament happens.  We look forward to hosting another great year for them.
