Troy with his mom Darlene from Texas with their catch on 7/9/09.

Water temp = 76 degrees --main lake clear -- river arms slightly stained.

As you can see from the pictures, fishing is remaining pretty good. Of the three trips taken this week, we have caught at least 20-30 fish every time, however, most of them are 6 inch White bass. Every keeper fish has been earned with being patient and persistent. All trips this week ranged from 4-5 hours in length.

Walleye ---Still trolling Wally Divers, Bombers, Reef Runners and Frenzies in 10-16 feet of water over mesquite. The quantity of fish is less, but the quality is better. White colored lures are my preference right now. You can also catch walleye in 15-25 feet of water on live bait near the channel edges.

White bass --some days you catch a bunch of real nice ones, but every day you can catch a bunch of small ones. Troll near the flats in 10-12 feet of water.

Small mouth bass -- Still on a great bite, but most are 13-14 inches long. Live bait or casting lures about anywhere will catch-em.

Large mouth bass -- Some 5-6 pounders caught last 4th of July -- all on worms and a bobber from shore. Most are 14 inches long caught up into the coves on top water early.

Catfish --Some days are limits and some days are slow ----thats why they call it fishing and not catching.

Crappie -- a few being caught 30 feet deep on minnows.
