BATTLE LAKE 9/10

[Realtree]

Walleyes are hitting fatheads and shiners worked in 6-10 feet of water on Ottertail Lake. Some fish are also coming in on crankbaits. On Battle Lake, anglers are doing well using crawlers and shiners in 18-25 feet of water, and by jigging in depths of 30-35 feet. On East Battle Lake, try crawlers and shiners in 18-23 foot depths. Rush Lake is giving up fish on shiners and fatheads worked in 16-21 feet of water. Northern pike continue to be taken from Clitheral, Silver, Johnson, South Turtle and West Battle lakes. Anglers are having the most success trolling crankbaits, or using suckers on the deep weedlines. For sunfish, hit 10-15 feet of water on Star, Fiske, Norway, Deer and Clitheral lakes. Crappies can be found on East and West Battle lakes. Johnson, Eagle, Fiske and Clitheral lakes have been best for numbers of bass. A few muskies are being taken by trolling on Battle Lake--some anglers are using large sucker decoys.
