Lake Waconia has been producing a variety of nice fish as of late. The walleye bite has been improving. Jigging with either leeches or fatheads has been the most popular method, with fish being caught between 15 to 20 feet. Popular areas to fish include Center Reef, North Reef, and Anderson’s Reef. Sunfish have finished spawning and the bigger fish are moving out of the shallows to the outside weedlines around 12 to 14 feet. Anderson’s Reef, Pillsbury Reef and Harm’s Point have been common areas to find the nicer sunfish. Muskie action has picked up lately as well. Lots of reported sightings, as well as some successful catches have kept anglers busy. Center Reef, Pillsbury Reef, North Reef and Reinke’s Reef have been a few of the more popular places to find them. Northern fishing has improved in the past few weeks as well. Several successful catches have been reported in many of the same areas muskie anglers are fishing. Bass fishing continues to be good both shallow and deep. Surface lures like topwater frogs or poppers are great in the shallows, while Texas-rigged worms and spinnerbaits have produced fish along the deeper weedlines.
