Walleye, whitefish, lake trout and yellow perch are biting, according to the DNR. Other highlights:

Traverse City: Both the East and West Bay have open water. Lake trout and whitefish have been caught in 200 to 230 feet of water in the East Bay. Anglers are reminded that the current lake trout regulations remain in effect until March 31.

Boardman River: Anglers are catching steelhead when floating spawn sacks. Those willing to put in the time have caught fish, but many of them are only running 3 to 4 pounds.

Lake Leelanau: Use caution and avoid the middle of the lake because of open water. Walleye and yellow perch have been caught on minnows and wigglers.
