Field Report 7-21-10 What a great week of fishing we had!! The crappie fishing is the the talk. It seems like the crappie action just keeps getting better and better. Turtle Lake, Bello, Maple, North Star and many smaller lakes are doing the best.The Walleye bite has really came around as well. Anglers are reporting great action on the mid lake humps. Bowstring, Sand, Jessie and Winnie are the lakes of choice as of late. The fish are still holding in the summer patterns of mid lake humps in about 24-28 ft of water, with crawlers being the bait of choice. The Smallies on Turtle Lake have really been hot as well. Cabbage bars with crankbaits is the tactic that seems to be working the best. We have heard of some muskie action on N. Star and Spider both, in the last week. This seems to be getting better as the days get hotter. Good luck and we hope to see you soon. Ron Mann - Frontier Sports Inc.
Field Report 7/13/10 The crappie action has been the talk of the town lately. Big Turtle has had an amazing crappie bite as of late. Cabbage bars and reed points seem to be holding the more active fish. The Bluegill bite on many of the area lakes has been hot as well. Look for cabbage weeds in about six to eight feet of water for the best action. Walleyes on Winnie and Bowstring have been doing great lately too. The mid lake humps in 24 to 28 ft of water seems to be the magic depth. Crawlers and leeches seem to be a little better than minnows but we are still hearing reports of some anglers doing well with a jig and a minnow. The Bass action is steady with reports of many fish moving back into the weeds and pads. Good luck and we hope to see you soon - Ron Mann, Frontier Sports Inc.

Field Report 7/1/10 Well, the mid summer walleye bite is now in full swing. Many anglers are saying the fish are deep on mid lake humps, yet many are saying they are in the weeds? So what does that mean? That means you will just have to look a little harder for those active fish. Leeches and minnows on mid lake humps seem to be the answer for many, on the calmer days. But live bait rigging seems to be the answer on the windy days. The Bass over the last week have been very active. Anglers are still saying deeper weed edges are holding the bigger fish. Northerns and Muskie have been hitting well also. Mid lake cabbage and the weed edges seem to be holding the more active fish. The crappie bite has slowed a bit but anglers are still doing pretty well in the evenings. Good luck and we hope to see you soon - Ron Mann, Frontier Sports
Field Report 6/23/10 What a wild week of weather? The storms that blew through last week made for some interesting fishing. But none the less the fishing was still pretty good. The walleyes bite has now shifted to the summer pattern on most lakes. The fish are holding on mid lake humps and live bait rigs are the tactics of choice. Winnie has had the most action with Bowstring and Sand going strong also. The bass bite, as of late, has shifted to deeper water as well. Many anglers are reporting that the bigger fish are holding off the deeper edges, with only smaller fish being caught in the shallows. The muskie bite on North Star is pretty hot right now too. We heard of of 54" fish being caught this last week. The crappie action has shifted to a more summer time bite as well. The fish have moved off the beds and are holding a little deeper. Look for the action early in the morning or late in the evening. Good luck and we hope to see you soon! Ron Mann - Frontier Sports Inc.
Field Report 6-16-2010 Well, in spite of the wet weather we have had lately, the fishing has still been great. The walleye bite is still pretty strong on Jessie Sand and Winnie as well as Big Bowstring. The reports are that the fish are scattered from shallow to deep water. Rigging with leeches and crawlers is the tactic that seems to be best, but many anglers are still jig fishing and doing well also. The crappie bite has slowed a bit over the last week or so, but we think that is due to weather more than anything. Bass and Northerns have not slowed a bit however. There are still many fish being caught off the deep weed edges. Good luck and we hope to see you soon - Ron Mann - Frontier Sports Inc.
Field Report 6-9-10 The weekend fishing was still hot!! The walleye bite on Sand, Winnie and Jessie is still going strong. We saw a bit of a slow down on Jessie, due to a may fly hatch, but the fishing picked back up over the weekend. We are hearing more and more about the bite on Bowstring getting stronger every day. Turtle Lake also had a great walleye bite, crawlers on the humps seemed to be the ticket out there. North Star and Spider had a good muskie opener and the Bigfork River did well also. Crappie are still going strong on many of our smaller lakes. Look to the weed edges in evenings for the best action. We are still asking for those fishing pictures? Send them to us or just drop one off at the store. Good luck and we hope to see you soon-

Field Report 6-2-10 The nice weather just keeps coming!! Maybe we will get a summer this year? This fishing this last week was almost as good as the weather. The walleyes are still going strong on Sand, Jessie and Winnie. We have also talked to many anglers who say Bowstring is doing pretty good as well. Minnows or leeches still seem to be the bait of choice. Look in about 14 to 17 feet for the best action. The northern pike have been hitting spinner baits in the weeds on many of the area lakes and the crappie action is still fast as well. As far as the Bass, what a weekend we had for them. The Smallies on Turtle were amazing!! Most anglers said it was like taking candy from a baby. The fish are on their beds and hitting anything thrown at them. One more note to all the anglers out there. We have not seen many fish pictures coming in. To tell the truth we have only taken one here at the store. So we are asking for you all to start e-mailing your photos to us and we will post them on our board as well as on the web site. Its a great way to brag to all your buddies. Good luck and we hope to see you soon. Ron Mann - Frontier Sports Inc
Field Report 5-27-2010 We can't believe it, the great weather just keeps coming? The heat has really brought the crappies into the beds. Most anglers are reporting that the crappies are now in the shallows and very aggressive. The walleye bite has not slowed a bit either. The action is still fast on Winnie, Sand and Jessie with reports of Bowstring starting to turn on. The bait of choice seems to be leeches or minnows. With the bass opener coming, this weekend, look for the fish on their beds in the shallows. The reports from Turtle Lake are that the Smallies have been on the beds now for a few days. Good luck and we hope to see you soon.

Field Report 5-20-2010 What a beautiful weekend!! With the temps. in the mid 70s it was the nicest opener in many years. The fishing was pretty good as well. The walleye bite was a little spotty Saturday morning,but by Sat. afternoon it picked up. Sand, Jessie and Winnie were the better lakes, the action was good in about 15 to 20 ft of water. Sand and Jessie are still hitting well in the evenings, with minnows and leeches, on a jig doing the best. The northern action was hot on many of our local lakes. Spinner baits over the weed beds seemed to be the tactic that did the best. Good luck and we hope to see you soon. - Ron Mann - Frontier Sports Inc.
Field Report 5-5-2010 What a spring we have had!! The weather feels more like mid June than the first week of May. Our annual spring fling and open house, last Saturday, was a great success. Thanks to all who attended, also a big Thank You to our local guides, Jeff Sundin, Tom Neustrom, and Brian "bro" Brosahl, for the informative seminars. The crappie fishing, as of late, has been amazing. With the warm weather the fish have been very active in the shallows from mid day right till dark. We are all looking forward to a good opener. With the early spring and the fact that the walleyes have all spawned early, we expect the fish to be very active.
