~ GRAND RAPIDS AREA FISHING REPORT ~ LIVE Fishing Reports from the HLO Crew via Twitter Tweets by @HangLooseOD ( May 16, 2019 ) Grand Rapids, MN Weather Forecast How was the MN Fishing Opener around the Grand Rapids area? To summarize the opener, we would say it was good. It was great to some and fair to others. Some bodies of water were hot and others not. We hope you all had a fun opener and carried on those traditions. What lakes were hot and what lakes were off? First off, I should make it clear that water temps around the area are a little behind schedule making the not so hot lakes rather slow to start the season. The not so hot lakes will heat up in the next week or so. Upper Red Lake was on fire this weekend. A jig/minnow combination worked slow along the rocks caught plenty of walleyes. The majority of anglers fishing Red this weekend brought home their limit of walleyes (4 fish with only 1 over 20'). A lot of boats including us caught 50 to 100 walleyes each day. It was awesome fishing. Leech Lake was good depending on where you were on the lake. Cass Lake was good along with Winnie/Cutfoot and Bowstring. Lake of the Woods and Mille Lacs were also on fire especially for big walleyes. Lakes that usually offer anglers a good opening day bite but were poor were Splithand and Round. These lakes might take another week or so to warm up to get some action going. Look for water temps to warm and fish to start hitting the shallows more and more as the shiners come in to spawn. Your first bet to success should be 6 to 10 feet of water on most area lakes this coming weekend. A jig/shiner combination should be your goto. Good luck on the water. Crappies are just beginning to push into the shallows on area lakes! If you are looking for a guided fishing trip in 2019 please call us today at 218-259-5447.
