Meet Dan Schermerhorn, the new DNR large lake specialist for Lake Winnibigoshish, as he and fellow biologists operate the Cutfoot Sioux walleye spawning site.
“Walleyes in Winnie have been moving along the edges of mid-lake structures all week, and many have begun showing up along the shoreline, in shallower water. On any given day, we’ve heard about walleyes being caught in both deep and shallow waters. On mid-lake bars, 15 to 21 feet has been a key depth range. Along windswept shorelines, walleyes were caught in 4 to 8 feet of water. In calmer shoreline waters, 12 to 16 feet have been a key depth range.”
