The ice was mostly out for the Minnesota Walleye Opener and fishing was good for folks who fished on Lake Winnie where the larger females were the main attraction this weekend. Lots of large fish on both Winnibigosh and Cutfoot were caught. mostly fish in the protected slot ranging in size from 17 to 20 inches with a smattering of larger ones and a handful of keepers for most folks.
There were some anglers who found schools of smaller fish that were still in "spawning mode". As predicted, once you find the males, there is a lot of action because they're feeding fairly heavily, but at the same time, they refuse to leave the shallow gravel areas where the instinct to spawn is still strong. In other words, once you find them you have them pinned down.
