BATTLE LAKE 7/17

[Realtree]

BATTLE LAKE - Ben's Bait & Tackle, Josie, Junction of Hwy 78 and 210 (218-864-5596)
   
The walleye bite is a little slower now, mostly biting at night.  Battle and Ottertail seem to be the best lakes. Lindys with leeches after dark are getting the most hits.  The mayfly hatch has really messed up the bite.  The northerns are biting on Clitheral and Ottertail trolling the weeds with daredevils or a sucker minnow trolling in 15 to 20 feet. Sunfish are biting on Battle, Sucker and Clitheral in 20 to 23 feet of water using panfish leeches.  We haven?t heard much for reports on crappies.  The bass are still biting on W. Battle and Fiske Lakes using floating frogs or sucker minnows in the weeds.  The bigger bass are in the deeper water.  The muskies are more active on Battle Lake now.
