Cass Lake Minnesota

[FOOTDOC]

I have a friend who has been trying to convince me to go to Cass Lake for the opener. Is this lake worth it for the opener? I will be arriving a few days after opener and staying for three days. He tells me the walleye fishing is great and the perch fishing non-stop. I fished Winnie a few years ago and did not do too well. Any advice would be helpful.

IF YOU GO TO CASS LAKE THIS WEEKEND, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GO THRU THE MISSISSIPPI CHANNEL AT WEST END OF CASS INTO LAKE ANDRUSIA. THEN GO TO THE WEST END OF ANDRUSIA WHERE THE MISSISSIPPI COMES INTO THAT LAKE. ANCHOR IN THE RIVER IN FRONT OF THE FIRST CABIN ON YOUR LEFT (RED) AND CAST JIGS.

WE CATCH ALL WE WANT RIGHT THERE EVERY OPENER.
WITH THE WARM SPRING THIS YEAR THERE PROBABLY WON'T BE AS MANY AS USUAL BUT YOU WILL HAVE SOME ACTION FOR SURE. GOOD LUCK

Always had good luck on Pike Bay........if you can get your boat under the bridge and through the channel from Cass.

I FISH LEECH EVERY OPENER SINCE WE CABIN THERE, MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE TO FISH WINNIE OVER CASS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, RECENT OPENERS THERE HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING, SOME FRIENDS OF MINE LIMITED OUT THERE LAST OPENER, THEY RAN OUT OF MINNOWS AND WERE CATCHING WALLEYES BY USING ELECTRICAL TAPE (THEIR FAKE LEECH) ON A PLAIN HOOK. NOW THAT'S A TRUE FISH TAIL....., GOOD LUCK ON OPENER.

Many pleasant days fishing on Cass Lake! It is quite clear, so you may have to gear your efforts to the early mornings and late evenings unless it is overcast. Casting for big muskies is a plus.
