Lots of smiling faces in the Otter Tail Lake area! It had to do with the great catch and the beautiful weather. Many said there were more boats during opener than ever before and most were catching fish.

Most walleyes were caught in 10 feet to 20 feet of water. Fisherman are catching walleyes in the 15 to 18 inch range. Shiners and a Lindy Rig were the best presentation. Those using a jig and minnow were also successful.

Crawlers and leeches should also begin to produce as water temps are around 66 degrees today. Crappies and sunfish are starting to produce with the warmer weather. Should be a great weekend again with the nice temps!

Ken's Tackle has shiners - come on in and we hope we can put you on some eyes!
