Angler report:
Was having a crummy morning, so left the office early, and ran some errands.....
Wanted some solitude and R&R, so put the tinny on the lake at 2:30pm.....
Fished the shallows, just south of the narrows for an hour or so....got a couple northern pike....nothing special.
However....as the sun was setting, I was casting off the sides as I idled thru the no-wake zone in the narrows, and WHAM....my rapala got hammered hard!

Brought in a walleye, measured 21", coming in at 3.5lbs or so.....a strong fighter, too...lots of fun!
Great end to the afternoon, and watched the sky turn orange as I returned to the dock....

ASHURST LAKE — No reports. Trout should be in their autumn activity pattern. Although some pike are being caught incidentally by trout anglers, those targeting pike have not had much luck.
FRANCIS SHORT POND – No reports.
KINNIKINICK LAKE — No reports. This should be a good time to fish for hold-over trout from a float tube, kayak or canoe. Brown trout should be in the pre-spawn activity mode.
MARSHALL LAKE — No report. Expect dense aquatic weeds.
LONG LAKE — This is a hot spot for larger northern pike up to 10 pounds, but when there is inclement weather, Long Lake can be windy and cold.
SOLDIERS & SOLDIERS ANNEX — No report
STONEMAN LAKE — NO FISH.
