First Week of Walleye Season Update

Here's a brief mention of Leech Lake in today's Bemidji Pioneer.

Leech Lake was another good lake for walleyes on the opener, but heavy winds also hampered anglers efforts much of the first week of the season.

Walleyes were biting well in both Portage and Sucker Bay of Leech Lake as well as on some of the larger points like Ottertail and Pine Point in the main lake. Most of the walleyes were biting in 8-12 feet of water on either rocks or on the edges of the emergent cabbage weed beds.
