Cold Temps – Hot Reels! The Fish Are Biting!
Hey Fishermen from across the globe! It’s the right time to come fishing in 
Otter Tail Lakes Country!
The water temps have finally cooled enough to get strong positive responses from the fish—all of them. Walleye are biting on most lakes in the county. Weed lines—both shallow and deep—are strong. Minnows are working well and night crawlers are always an option. Panfish are biting too. Look for large groups of panfish just outside of heavy weed flats on drops. Northern Pike are beginning to show signs of activity, and you can find them around weeds and drops – especially in areas where you are finding panfish. Try casting large spinner baits for pike and also try trolling large crank baits along weed edges, near deep water.
We’ve been catching a lot of large mouth bass on many lakes around the county. They are really stacked on deep weed edges. Come to Otter Tail Lakes Country this week and enjoy the great fall fishing. There’s something happening for everybody!
