FISHING UPDATE Central Region Otter Tail Lakes Country Anglers report that the walleyes are biting in 18-22 feet of water, as well as 28-32 foot depths depending on the lake. Most of the fish are being taken on jigs tipped with fathead minnows. Northern pike can be found at 15 feet of water when using sucker minnows, with multiple area lakes producing lots of fish. Both crappies and sunnies can be found at 10-15 feet near the weeds in numerous area lakes. The evening bite tends to be best. When out on the lakes during extreme cold temperatures, start your vehicle often to assure that the battery does not go dead. And as always, use caution when driving any vehicle on the lakes. 800-423-4571; ottertailcountry Detroit Lakes More snow, more wind, and more cold over the last few days has limited the number of anglers heading out. Those that have ventured out reported a slower walleye bite and a shorter bite window. The majority of fish were being taken early in the morning and during the last hour of light until dark. The panfish bite on area lakes remains good and steady. Big Detroit, Leaf, Tamarac, Floyd, and Lida lakes have all been getting lots of attention. The weather and the bite are expected to improve by the weekend. If traveling off trail, snowmobiles and track vehicles are still recommended due to the additional snow and drifts. 800-542-3992; visitdetroitlakes
