Fishing Report 8/6/25

by | Aug 6, 2025 | Fishing Report

Fishing in the Brainerd Lakes Area has been good! Of course it’s not every day that we go out and hammer them, but more often than not the “bite” has been good. 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 you can catch them with whatever you have in your arsenal! The pike and bass fishing has remained pretty strong too and we are seeing an occasional musky too! Water temps were around 73 degrees this morning. We have had a really nice season thus far and we are hoping that the fishing stays strong right into the fall! We can only hope. Now’s the time to book your fall and winter trips! Call Shelley at 218-839-5598 to get on the calendar! Thanks for checking out the new site!

Blessings from the north,

I hope you all had a nice weekend! We celebrated the 250th anniversary of our country in Bozeman, MT, by welcoming our 2nd grandchild into this world. Back on the water tomorrow, and it's going to be a scorcher. We are well into our season, and the guides have been doing a lot of trips! Some walleyes are cooperating, but many of the folks we fish with this time of year are looking for action....

Good evening! The water temperature is up into the mid-sixties, and fishing action is picking up. People always ask when the best time to fish is, and I say June and October. So, you know what that means? You should probably get out on the water and fish. I had the Bjellands out this morning on Gull, and we had decent action. We started by pulling Shadow Raps and finished by pulling Raps. But...

“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!!”
