The whitefish and tulibe are realating to the deeper basins. They come in suspended and are feeding heavy. I use the tingler spoon without the hook and tie it about 18 inches above my tungsten jig. The spoon calls them in and the jig seals the deal.

Leech is loaded with wild rice that largemouth bass love to sit in during the fall. Wild rice can be difficult to fish but a frog is a great option!

Spring time it's very important to cover lots of water. Looking for warm water and healthy weeds and bait fish. Leech is a very big lake, so picking a bay and sticking to the bay will help. Find the key areas, reeds, sand and weeds mixed, or hard banks. I like to cover water with a swim jig or a buzz bait. When you locate some fish, I will slow down and throw a senko or some kind of worm. The key is to always be looking for fish and really pay attention to where you find them. Leech patterns very well

Finding weed edges accompanied by sand spots are important for Leech Lake Walleyes. Pitching jigging rap style baits out and ripping back to the boat are a guaranteed catch.-Baylor S

Burning a frog across the matted rice can produce good numbers of fish with some quality mixed in. Working the frog fast allows you to cover lots of water. If a fish misses the frog, follow up with a light jig, they should commit.

Tried swimbaits, hardbaits, and more, (no live bait in the boat) and the only thing to get bit was a ned rig. Good fishing until about noon. Stayed on them, just struggled to get bites. Fun morning tho! I filmed this whole day too. Check it out on the Fish Hunt Forever YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/g14QQ-wWkxY

Hot bite on Saturday. Dragging a jig and a shiner or pitching a jig and a shiner produced many walleyes. Can't wait for the rest of the year!
