    I was wondering about any good Walleye lakes in Minnesota because the lake we went to did not produce a single keeper Walleye. All help will be greatly appreciated.

    MilleLacs is where most walley  hunters go on the opener.  I've heard some mixed reviews about it so far this year. 

    I usually go to Rainy Lake, and always have success there.  I go home with my limit almost every time.

    Millacs is a walleye factory! The only thing is 18-28inches is the protected slot. It can be very tough at times to catch fish under 18 inches. No Kidding. Lots of fish in the 22-26 inch range. Leech lake, Cass lake, Winnibigosh are some bigger ones in the bemidgi area. Farther north you have Red Lake (Which is absolutly on fire right now) and Lake of the wood (a lake you have to go once in your life) These are a few of the "Big Name" lakes in the northern part of the state. There are a ton more lakes that produce good walleye fishing. It just takes some good timing and a little luck.

     Leech lake, Cass lake, Winnibigosh are excellent Walleye producers.  Fished em every year for over 40 years.  Caught this 14 pounder in Winnie about 20 years ago.  Some darn nice Walleye and Musky in Winnie.

    Mille Lacs is great. I've caught a fair amount of 28-30in walleye up there as well as may others. Good times!

    I went to Kabetogama last year and loved it, as on millacs there is a no-keeper slot, but we caught  plenty of eaters each day to keep our bellys full ( breakfast and supper)  and the fishery is on the verge of  major breakthrough,  most fish caught were in the slot with most being on the upper end 26-28inches,  should start seeing fish in the next couple of years go over the slot to be able to keep them again.  This lake has plenty of islands, rock outcroppings, and mid lake humps, should find fish any day of the year somewhere on the lake.  Best part of this lake, is if you are looking for a vacation on the cheap,  most islands on the lake have campsites, and are free on first come first serve basis, just have to stop by one of the visitor centers before heading out.  Going back this year,  we stay at a resort on the south central section of the lake, ( Pokorny's resort).  Modest setting but all the amenities, and the piers are in an inlet which is buffered if you have a strong wind, don't have to worry about getting your boat beat up.
