Spicer area fishing report 4-28-06

[Spinach]

SPICER - Mel?s Sportshop, Hwy 23 and Ruth Street (320-796-2000) The panfish seem to be biting everywhere, the warm weather has brought them into the shallows on most of the area lakes. Nest Lake has been steady with sunfish and crappies biting well on Flu-Flus, Northland Jigs and also minnows and waxworms. The east bay by Hwy 23 is the most popular spot. Lake Andrew has been good for panfish in the north bay and by the inlet. The south bay on North Long Lake has been producing some nice sunfish, with artificial flies the top lure. Some nice crappies are being caught on Ringo Lake off of Hwy 71. Minnows are best here especially around dusk. There are reports of sunfish coming from the channel on the northeast side of Elkhorn Lake. West Norway Lake near the access has given up some nice crappies, with minnows being by far the best bait. Lake Calhoun, by the dam, has been good since ice out for sunfish, perch and some crappies.
