Perch action has been best using minnows and crawlers along the Grapevine and Windmill reefs.

Detroit Lakes area: Walleye action on area lakes remains good. Most anglers are working the shoreline breaks using leeches, minnows or nightcrawlers in about 13-19 feet during the early morning hours or late evening. Panfish are hitting on jigs and small minnows or leeches or wax worms along weed lines. Northerns are being caught near the deeper weed edges using larger sucker minnows, spoons or crankbaits. Anglers are casting jigs and plastic baits at shallow depths for bass.

On the north end of the lake, areas such as Garden, Little Oak, Bridges and Knight Island have produced good walleye action, trolling or drifting with leeches or nightcrawlers.
