BATTLE LAKE 8/29

[Realtree]

Walleyes are hitting crankbaits, and jig and minnow combinations up on the flats on area lakes at night. On Battle Lake, early morning and afternoon hours have been best, with crawlers and shiners producing fish in 15-20 feet of water. On Stalker Lake, walleyes are hitting minnows in depths of 20-25 feet. For northern pike, try trolling the weedlines on Ottertail, Clitheral and West Battle lakes. Bass are active on Clitheral, West Battle, Fiske and Stalker lakes, and hitting topwater baits or small sucker minnows on jigs. East Battle, Star, Stalker and Clitheral lakes are producing sunfish in depths ranging from 8-20 feet, with the largest fish coming from 15-20 foot depths on panfish leeches. Crappie anglers are doing well using crappie minnows in 15-20 feet of water on West Battle Lake.
