Brainerd Lakes Area Fishing Report

The ice is almost off Gull Lake, and the bay of North Long on 371 is ice free. It won't be long until the crappie bite starts happening.

Check out the latest fishing report below:

BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA 
There’s too much ice to get a boat in and not enough to walk on. The shorelines have pulled away, and most of the ice that remains is floating. Some anglers have started fishing on piers or in channels and ditches with poor crappie-fishing success. Look to these areas and those small lakes that open first to provide the first open-water panfish bite of the season.

North Long Lake, Round Lake, and several other small lakes were producing sunfish in 5 to 12 feet and crappies in 10 to 20 feet early this week. But with the warm weather, those options might not exist by this weekend, so call ahead.
