Those of you looking to have a less stressful time launching your boat on Lake Waconia, we still have  Everyday Summer Season Passes available for $349 + tax. Our long docks and deep access make it easier to get your boat in and out of the water safely and more efficiently. We have experienced staff ready to assist you if needed. We limit the amount of passes we sell, so get yours while you can!

As for the fishing, there have been very few boaters or fishermen out lately with the rain and high winds. Water temps have dropped significantly since last week when we measured 67 degrees at it's warmest (1 foot below the surface). The current water temp has been between 54 to 56 degrees. With all the water entering the lake, it's a good time to try any areas near culverts, but especially near Peterson's Creek (aka "The Carp Trap) on the NW side of the lake. Water will be flowing in and fish will likely be ready to pounce. With the fluctuation of the water temps, we expect the walleye bite to stay in the spring pattern for a bit longer, so shallow water (8 feet or less) should still work. Sunfish, crappies and bass can be found shallow too, but also on the weed lines a little deeper. The sunfish spawn will be delayed while we wait for temps to warm back up.

We'll see you on the lake!
