What’s the best time to fish for walleye in Leech Lake?
The best walleye fishing on Leech Lake is in late spring and early fall. May through June offers hot action on shallow flats and points, while September and October are great for trolling and jigging in deeper waters. Book early during these windows to catch walleye at their peak.
