Jeremy Lewis from Fort Meyer, Fl. with his limit of Walleye and a couple Smallies taken 4/10/10

Bruce Hubbord from Logan, N.M. with a monster 6.25 pound Smallie taken 4/10/10 about mid morning on a crawdad colored crankbait. A bigger smallie followed this fish to the boat!!! The fish was released.

A young fisherman with his first ever Walleye taken off of the dam on minnows -4/10/10

Water Temp = 56 degrees -Main lake clear ---river arms stained.

I would say that the fishing has busted loose and will only get better. I had 4 guiding trips the last four days all netting limits of Walleye and quite a few Smallmouth. We had a beautiful weekend weather wise and a whole bunch of people took advantage of it.

Walleye-Excellent-- fish about 20 feet deep on structure near the main lake channel. Minnows and crawlers are the big producers.

Smallmouth-Excellent--fish the 10 foot flats off of the main lake. Minnows and crawlers will catch them along with throwing cranks.

Largemouth-Good--throw spinner baits in the coves and brush. The thicker the brush--the better.

Crappie --Poor--Some are being caught --- but it should really get going when the water temp hits 60 degrees.

Catfish -- Good -- Quite a few being caught in 5-8 feet of water.. The upper Ute is producing better than the Canadian right now. Use Sonny's stink bait for the best results.

Whitebass--Good---troll up the Canadian around the Ranch house for the best results. Pull Reef Runners and Berkley Frenzies in lighter colors for the best results.

FISH-ON,
