Minnetonka water temp

[SteeveeD]

Anyone out recently know what the water temp is on Minnetonka?

It really depends on where you are and time of day. I fished Tonka today. Got on the water at 5:00 am at grays bay. Water temp was 56 got off about 1:30. Water temp was 62 in grays. Warmest water I found was in a bay about 11;00 am and it was 65. Caught lots of fish but the warmer water was the most productive. Every fish we caught was pre spawn. I found that interesting because last Friday on Bush everything was post spawn. I was most surprised by the lack of weeds on Tonka. Either the water treatments have affected them in my opinion or it's just behind because of the size of the lake. I don't fish the Minnetonka Classic anymore but I suspect it's going to take a mighty bag to win.

On a side note if I were a betting man, my money would be on Lee and Bird for the Classic. These are the conditions they do well in.

Good Fishing!
