Fall Patterns begin.
September 4, 2025
It feels like fall.
This last week the bass and pike are starting to slide up into shallower water on Lake Minnetonka. We are now catching fish in 8-15' of water. They have been up in the weeds. So, moving baits over the top of the weeds have trigger them to bite. They are finally chasing baits again. This is the start of some great fall fishing. You can still catch them on finesse bait as well.
The road to the houses is plowed and this cold weather is making ice. Now 8-9" of ice. The houses should be out later this week, and the rental season will begin.
Lake Minnetonka is locked up, and fishing has begun in the smaller weedy bays. Learn what to bring and how to find these areas and what to use when you do.
On this Lake Minnetonka crappie fishing report, we're talking early ice fishing as our guides are ready to get started for the season.
