BATTLE LAKE 8/23

[Realtree]

Walleyes continue to bite on Ottertail Lake. Try a crankbait in 7-12 feet of water out on the flats during morning and evening hours, and switch to crawlers and suckers worked in 18-24 feet during the day. On West Battle Lake, the best approach has been a leech or minnow in depths of 30-35 feet. On Rush Lake, hit 16-21 foot depths using leeches or shiners. Sunfish anglers are doing well on Star, Fiske, Blanche, Deer and Norway lakes. Crappies are biting in roughly 20 feet of water on West Battle Lake, with fish found suspended 10 feet down. Bass and northern pike remain active on most area waters. For the most fish, hit Clitheral and West Battle lakes.
