Ball Club Lake Fishing Report

The Ball Club Lake Weekly Fishing Report is brought to you by Gus' Place Resort, Campground & RV Park on Ball Club Lake in Deer River, Minnesota.

Last Update:
June 27, 2008  

Water temperature on the lake has finally sustained in the 60s, and the fishing catch has greatly improved over previous weeks.  Fishing for all species is great right now.  Crappies and Blue Gills are moving in shallow for spawn.  Walleye and Northern Pike are relating to minnow forage in the warmer shallows.  Lake levels are good due to more normal amounts of precipitation last winter and this spring.  Weed lines are just developing and holding most of the Perch; this bite is producing catch limits.
