As we head into the first week of July, fishing is holding up quite well throughout the Bemidji area. Look for walleyes along the deeper weed edges in 12-18 feet.
The survey tallied 31.1 crows per stop in the southwest, up from 28.8 in 2024; 21.3 crows per stop in the northwest, down from 21.5; and 18.6 crows per stop in the southeast, up from 16.2.
For some lakes, the walleye bite has been slower. However, on other lakes, it continues to be very good. Look to Lakes Bemidji, Plantaganet, Andrusia and Blackduck for some decent walleye action.
