June is walleye month. Minnesota is the walleye state. Here’s where to find them
June is walleye month, and Minnesota is the walleye state. If you intend to catch these fish this summer, best to be on the water soon. And while 1,700 lakes and 100 rivers in Minnesota harbor the state’s most sought-after fish, 10 huge bodies of water account for a whopping 40 percent of anglers’ annual catch. And most of these lakes are big: Lake of the Woods, for instance, amasses 950,400 acres, 307,010 in Minnesota. Even Cass Lake, the smallest of the 10, is 30,000 acres when adjoining waters are included. Following is a lake-by-lake breakdown detailing how walleyes are being caught now on Minnesota’s best waters. Upshot: The fishing, as always, is great. The catching — as is customary in June — is, too. Time to be on the water.
