James Lindner: Target these locations during peak ‘bug hatch’ season

It’s been an interesting season to say the least. Although we experienced the earliest ice-out I can remember in central Minnesota, the cool, wet spring put the brakes on many of the typical seasonal movements of fish.
With a delay in these late spring and early summer progressions, we’ve been finding most of our fish relatively shallow. Take walleyes, for example, which have been using shallow rock and weed flats. Compare that to a so-called “normal” season, when many walleyes already would have moved to deeper water.
