Fall Fishing on Big Winnie

With a September stay at Northland Lodge anglers gain easy access to some of the best fall fishing Minnesota has to offer. Action is usually lively for walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass and crappie.

Both Lake Winnie and Cutfoot Sioux can offer great fall fishing. Often you will have the best luck in the shallows off the east shore, down in muskie bay, and all along the west shore. You can find good action this time of year if you target the shallow weeds a jig and a minnow. Night crawlers will also work but you won’t get the perch and northern pike action like you will using jig and minnow. This time of year is also a good time to try crappie fishing since they are in their fall patterns. Move out into open water looking for a school on your fish locator. Try dropping a jig and minnow in on them and if they are active you can get your limit in a hurry.

It's not unusual to see good panfish action - especially in Cut Foot - well into September.  Expect decent size bluegill and sunnies to come out of the rushes until the water temps starts to drop dramatically.
