Walleye
If you're looking for walleye in central Minnesota, the Motley area offers some excellent options. The Crow Wing River, with its mix of riffles, runs, and deeper pools, is a local favorite. Several smaller lakes in the area, like Shamineau Lake, also hold good populations of walleye. Spring and fall are prime times, with the fish often moving into shallower water to feed. In the spring, try fishing near the mouths of feeder creeks as the water warms. For a local tip, check the water clarity – walleye can be sensitive to bright sunlight in clearer water, so overcast days or fishing during low-light periods can be particularly productive. There are several public access points along the Crow Wing River, but be prepared for some rocky wading in places. Walleye in this region tend to average 15-20 inches, with larger fish possible, so bring your medium-action rods and be ready for a fight!
