Local fish report for Friday, July 5

According to our fishing expert John Muhich at Buck’s Hardware, the walleyes are once again hanging out fairly shallow…

Walleyes are still hitting in less than 12 feet on most lakes including Caribou, Seagull, East Twin, Two Island, Hungry Jack, and Northern Light.

Lake trout are suspended over deep water and hitting spoons or ciscoes at Lake Saganaga and Seagull.

Leo Lake and Esther Lake are producing rainbow trout on crawlers in 12 to 15 feet and Lost Lake is giving up a few brook trout in 18 feet.

Smallmouth bass are hitting on the shallow rocks and shorelines of most lakes, while sucker minnows are producing pike on Homer Lake and Northern Light.
