I went to Red Willow Lake in the mid afternoon. I caught one wiper
at 20 inches on a suspending jerkbait (Rapala X-Rap) next to a main
lake point, and a 33-inch northern pike on a homemade spinnerbait
slow rolling it along a drop off halfway back in a cove. The surface
water temperature is in the lower to mid 40s, and the water clarity
is approximately 12 inches.
