I would like to catch some crappie the day before the walleye opener. Any suggestions for good locations? Thanks Name: steve metzger Leech_LakeIs the ice off Walker Bay? Name: Joe Leech_LakeI have a cabin on Bear Island...Crappies? fish the north end of sucker!! Name: Darrin Leech_LakeHow have the Crappies been? Name: Bill McMillan Leech_LakeBrett, I was there last year with my kids and their arms got tired catching perch on the west end of Steamboat Bay. There's plenty of reeds and cover for fish. We even got several 2-3lb Pike on black Rapalas and nabbed a 5 lb walleye on a minnow and bobber. Name: HARD WATER Leech_Lakedarrin i was up to walker on 04/18/03 and there was some ice about 300yrds from shore in walker bay i didnot look at the main lake.but i am shere there is ice out there to hard water.. Name: Darrin Leech_LakeYes Yes there is. Name: Brett Leech_LakeGoing to leech in early june with my family.Will be at bucks oak point lodge.Any good spots I can take my 2 young girls for pan fish? Name: Darrin Leech_LakeHey guys havent been up to leech in a bit how much ice is up there? Name: ROCKY Leech_LakeFISHED LEECH ON SATURDAY 3-24, SUNNY SUNNY WARM WEATHER. TALKED TO LOCAL BAIT SHOPS, ETC, AND ACCESS TO LAKE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, AS FAR AS CROSSING PRESSURE RIDGES,WHICH ENCOMPASS THE LAKE ALMOST COMPLETELY? ON SATURDAY, A GUY DROVE HIS ATV, AND ENDOWED UP, HE GOT HIS LEGS WET, AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE ATV OUT, WHICH WAS SITTING VERTICLE IN THE WATER? THEY ENDED UP USING PLANKS, BUT THE PRESSURE RIDGE ICE AND ALLOT OF WATER. GETTING OUT TO THE MAIN PART OF THE LAKE, IS NOT REALLY A OPTION? MOST OF THE FISHERMAN WERE GOING OUT ON THE BEACH JUST BEFORE STONEY POINT, AND WERE EITHER DRIVING OR ATVING IT. ICE IS FULL OF CRACKS, SOFT SPOTS, AND HONEYCOMB POROUSITY, AROUND 3 FT THICK? WHEN I WENT OUT ON SATURDAY, THE BEACH SEEMED SOME WHAT SAFE, BUT WITH THE WARM WEATHER WHO IS TO SAY. BE CAREFUL, DRIVE SLOW WITH WINDOWS DOWN. I TALKED TO 6 FISHERMAN AND THEY SAID FISHING WAS SPOTTY, MOSTLY IN THE MORNING. THE GROUP THAT WENT OUT OVER THE PRESSURE RIDGE, SIZE OF 12 GUYS, CAUGHT 21, AND SOME WHITEFISH. FROM WHAT THE LOCALS ARE SAYING THEY TURNED OFF FROM THE WEEK PRIOR? THE TULIBEE THAT WAS OPENED FOUND THAT THEY ARE NOT THAT FULL OF LARVAE? SO THE REAL START OF FISHING HAS NOT REALLY STARTED. A BUCKET FULL OF FISH IS NOT REALLY THAT MANY, CONSIDERING THAT THESE FISH ARE PRETTY GOOD SIZED! LAST YEAR, THE FISHING AT THIS TIME, WAS VERY GOOD! IN SUMMATION, GETTING OVER THE PRESSURE RIDGE IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND UNADVICEABLE! THEY WERE FISHING TO THE SOUTH OF THE BEACH IN AROUND 30-35 FT OF WATER. SOME SAY THIS AREA IN THE PAST WAS GOOD, OTHERS HAVE SAID SO SO. I SUPPOSE IT IS A MATTER OF CATCHING THEM WHEN THEY ARE SCHOOLED UP. IF YOU GO OUT ON THE ICE, BE THERE, FROM 6-7:30, IN THE MORNING. WATCH FOR ANGLERS WITH FISH ON THE ICE, AND THAT IS YOUR FIRST INDICATION OF WHO TO TALK TO? Name: Tim Leech_Lake1st time to Leech Lake and need some advise on fishing holes for walleye. We're staying by Stony Point. Appreciate the help! Name: adam Leech_Lakethe tullibe are starting to bite. I caught a bucket full over the weekend out across the pressure ridge but now the ridge is bad. pulled a fourwheeler out of there on sunday and it is only getting worse. a lot of open water around it Name: adam Leech_Lakethe temp is cooled off on thursday the ice should last for a while if it doesnt rain tullibe are there you just need to move and find them schooled up Name: TULIBEE Leech_LakeAS OF TODAYS DATE, 3-20 1ST DAY OF SPRING, I HEARD THAT TULLIBEES WERE TENATIVE, THE SHRIMP ARE ON THE BOTTOM. APPARENTLY ACCESS IS LIMITED? HOWEVER, THIS LAKE IS FULL OF TULLIBEE. JUST MORE OR LESS WAITING FOR THEM TO SCHOOL UP. I WOULD SAY 25-30 FT OF WATER IS FINE, AS LONG AS OVER MUD, NOT SAND. LAST YEAR THEY LIKED A DROP LINE WITH A ORANGE OR RED JIG, AND IT HELPED TO HAVE A SPRING FLAT METAL TIP AND JUST STRAIGHT LINE IT, AND USE A BOBBER ON THE OTHER HOLE, TO INCREASE HOOK SETS. APPARENTLY THE BITE IS IN THE MORNING. Name: Nathan Kokett Leech_LakeI was just wondering if the tullibees are biting off Stoney or federal dam. Also wondering how the ice is. Name: hozer Leech_Lakewhat are tullibee??? Name: adam Leech_Lakewent off stony point last friday tullibe action was slow but managed to catch a few Name: Superstar Leech_LakeWent up to Leech last Sat. Caught a 20 inch Northern while Tullibee fishing out of Stoney. Thinkin' about giving it another shot this weekend (3/22). What's the ice like after this warm weather? We tried moving a couple times last Saturday but could't get on at Pine Point...or at Huddles. No 4-wheeler...are we screwed? Name: Jeff Leech_LakeWas to leech fishing tulibee 3/12 thur 3/16 the fishing was as slow as i have seen in years. Another week wiil help.We managed to catch around 100. Ice conditions are not good at shorelines. The heeves have open water around them. atv's and plank. take plank with so you can get back off conditions change hourly. Name: Jeff Leech_LakeWas to Leech 3/12 thur 3/16 Name: terry sayers Leech_Lakeit sucks cant get nothing Name: Jim Kelly Leech_LakeHi, I am planning a trip up to Leech the first week of June and was wondering if any one is willing to give up some of the local hotspots for early season Muskie and some late night walleyes hotspots. I will be staying in Traders bay area. thanks, Name: adam Leech_LakeI went tullibe fishing off of stony point on march 7 2003 and only caught 3 and didnt hear much of anybody else catching them. The pressure ridge is big. no need for an extension. going back on the 14th Name: Darrin Leech_LakeShawn yeah i know my way around been fishing it since i was at least 3 or 3 if you wanna know some good places leave your email and i will eamil you! Name: tulliewannabe Leech_LakeWished I had a fishing report, just looking for one. Will be staying at Grand Vu 3/13, 14. Tenth year of the tullibee expedition. Have heard rumblings of a tullie bite a couple miles out from Stony Point. Anybody know if that's accurate? How are the breakers this year, big, I suppose. Thanks Name: Zach Leech_LakeHows the perch fishing been? Name: Honzy Leech_LakeShawn, it depends what time of year/month you are going! E-Mail me if you need any info! Honzy Name: Honzy Leech_LakeShawn, it depends what time of year/month you are going! E-Mail me if you need any info! Honzy Name: Shawn Leech_LakeDarrin from New Brighton, sounds like you know Leech pretty good. A couple buddies and I want to stay in MN this fall for our annual week-long fishing trip and are thinking of hitting Leech. Do you (or anyone else on this board that knows Leech good) have any suggestions on where to stay and where to start fishing it? We're not picky about what gamefish we chase but order of preference is probably bass, pike then eyes. Thanks! Name: tullibee Leech_Lakei was reading the reports on winnie, and they said that the perch are eating mayflies, was wondering if the tullibees on leech are starting to be caught, or if the shrimps are not hatched yet. went up there last year, and a whole group of fisherman moved and found them, was a nice time. I still have some smoked from last winter, very good. I suspect the season for these silver darts, will be starting in the next two weeks. keep posting fishing experiences on these tullibees, would be interested to know whats going on. i had a friend go up to red on 22nd and got his limit, 7 miles out of hillman. 12 ft? of water. we are headed up to winnie this weekend for a day. it looks like they might be biting? one does not know until you get a line down the hole. especially reading these comments, it seems you do have to keep moving, and drilling, and goya, get off your butt. as in all th ings. one cannot beat fun for having a good time. Name: Steve Viste Leech_LakeWith walleye fishing over it's time to think jumbo yellow perch and tullibee (Cisco). Both have been alittle slow but with good company the day is always enjoyable. Best luck so far has been out from stony point and two points. Be careful and remember to always tell somebody where your going. Good luck fishing.

Name: scottholk Leech_Lakefinn, there is enough ice to drive vehicles, but it is never guaranteed safe. the way i look at it, if you own a snowmobile or atv, why risk driving truck on the ice? yes, the ride out is colder, but beats what could happen. i was on lake of the woods last winter, 38 inches of ice, and found a weak spot and dropped my front end through, took a bit of work to get it back out. i went out and bought an atv, just not worth the risk. good luck fishing.
