Fish Report 8/26/25

by | Aug 27, 2025 | Fishing Report, Open Water Fishing

It’s August! Lots of food in the lakes and a lot of the fish are well fed. Under the right conditions, things can be good but the best fishing is coming up later this fall. We continue to fish many of the lakes in and around the Brainerd area. Some of the walleyes are showing themselves on the humps and deep water points. We’ve been catching them on a variety of baits, but my favorite is rigging with chubs. I haven’t been fishing deeper than 25’, but as the days continue to get shorter the fish will eventually move deeper. Call or text Shelley to book a trip! 218-839-5598

Walleyes are all over the board (depth wise) and they are eating pretty well on the days with wind or overcast skies. We’ve been catching some rigging with minnows, but the slip bobber leech/crawler bite remains pretty strong. I’m sure...

“Dan is an incredible guide. He is personable and knows the Brainerd Lakes area like none other. I suggest anybody who wants to get into fishing and doesn’t want to spend all the time and money to try to figure out how to catch ‘em to just hired Dan and his team!”

“Four of us booked a four hour fishing trip with Walleyedan. Our guide was Dustin and he was so friendly and engaging with a wealth of knowledge and tips . We caught the amount of fish we wanted for a fish fry and man were they tasty. Besides Dustin’s skills, his friendly personality made the day. We HIGHLY recommend Walleyedan’s guide service.”

“Wonderful experience!! Our guide Chuck picked us up from our resort and was incredibly sweet. One person in our group had never touched a rod and landed a 42 inch plus musky. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!!”
