Carters Lake Fishing Report – February 2022

Carters: Level: 2 feet below 1,074. Temp: 45 degrees. Clarity: 4 feet.

Walleye: Guide Eric Crowley reports, “From now until April is the time to see a trophy-sized female walleye in this lake. Look for the fish to start stacking up around deep structure in the river channel staging for the spawn next month. These fish are as big as they are going to get all year right now and are still packing on the prespawn pounds. They will be deep with the alewifes in the 50- to 70-foot range. Vertical presentations are still my go to in cold water. Jigs and spoons tipped with minnows have been key. Expect the fish to stay deep until spawn. You can get spawn updates every few days on our Facebook page.”
