Ryan Gardner with our limit of Eyes caught 8/14/10.

Cole and dad John from Roswell, N.M. with fish taken 8/13/10.

Daniel and Tamara from Clovis, N.M. with a good catch taken 8/8/10.

A happy camper with a nice Large mouth and Walleye taken from the South shore on a spinner. 8/10/10.

Bruce and Steve from California with some fish taken on a tough day of fishing. 8/1/10.

Water temp = 79 degrees, main lake clear, river arms stained.

Fishing has been a bit tougher lately, but they can still be caught. As you can see from the pictures, some days are more fishing than catching --but every day is a new day.

Walleye--Fair--It takes patients, but we are still catching them trolling in 20 feet of water over brush. I have heard of some being caught quite shallow early in the morning by throwing Senkos. I have slabbed a couple of times lately, but not much luck.

Large and Small mouth bass--Fair--Some Large mouth being caught near reeds using Senkos and spinner baits, but the best bite is the Small mouth using Senkos in the 10 foot deep weed beds. Quite a few smaller fish can be caught this way along with occasional 16 incher.

White bass--Fair--This is a hit or miss at this time. Some days are excellent and some days are poor. I have not seen many schools feeding the last week or so, but I have heard of some occasional limits when they do find them.

Catfish--Fair--My cat fishing buddies are reporting 4-6 fish on an outing. Use stink baits in 4-8 feet of water.

Bluegill--Good--fish poppers or crawlers on a bobber near reeds to whack a few.

Crappie--What are they???

FISH-ON,
