July 16, 2008 on Leech Lake



I limited my fishing today to the afternoon hours -- between 2:00 and 5:30 p.m. -- because it was a grey, rainy, overcast day and I felt like being warm and dry this evening.

The temperature was a comfortable 72 degrees, the water temp was the same as the air, and the winds varied from calm to about 8 mph out of the south.

I switched between the smaller #7 Minnow Rap and the original size #9, and just for good measure I also used a jointed-Shad Rap.

Trolling between Second Duck Point and Norm's cabin I caught numerous medium-sized perch, several small northern pike and one 23" walleye. Another productive multi-species fishing day on Leech Lake.

The sun finally peeked through the clouds right at sunset.
