Stephanie and Mike Broderick with 1/2 of their kids Loren, Michael and Zack with 8 Walleye and a couple of Whites taken 6/11/11. It was a great day!!!!! Loren -----Congrats on catching most of the fish!!!!!


Edward Kuplach with a couple of Whites taken 6/16/11. It was a tough day of catching, but that is why they call it fishing.

Adolfo and son Fabian with limits of Walleye taken on 6/12/11. We trolled 4 hours in 12 feet of water over brush.

Water temp = 71 degrees, main lake clear with river arms lightly stained.

The fishing has been pretty good for all species of fish, except when the barometric pressure is low. I find that the fishing at Ute lake is best when the pressure is between 29.9 and 30.1 pounds, however when it gets to be lower than 29.8, it starts to get tough. Today 6/16/11, the pressure was 29.65 and it was tough fishing.

Small and Large mouth bass -- Excellent--the bass fisherman are saying that they have rarely seen the lake on fire like it currently is when it comes to bass fishing. They are hitting about anything thrown at them. There is also a good morning top water bite. I have seen numerous large Smallies break water during my Walleye trips.

Walleye--Good to Excellent--Crawlers fished in 17-22 feet of water is a good place to start. Another method is to troll over brush in 10-15 feet of water---I love to do this---and it will usually pay off. Where the Ute comes into the Canadian up to Horse shoe is the place to go.

White bass--Fair --I'm catching a few here and there, but there is still not a great bite going on. Some days I'll catch 5-10 and the next day maybe 1 or 2.

Crappie --Good--Using minnows up the Canadian is the ticket. I have seen several good stringers the past week. Fish the rocks or brush in 2-4 feet of water. You might need to move quite a bit, but sooner or later you start to catch them.

Channel catfish--Good to Excellent--They are moving into the main lake's coves and flats. fish chicken livers or stink baits in 2-8 feet of water. Try to be near brush or reeds for your best results.

Its Fathers Day weekend coming up so bring your dad out to the lake & enjoy a good time on the water.

FISH-ON,

Don with an excellent batch of eyes that we caught on 6/2/11.

Penny & Bubba

A great batch of fish taken on 6/3/11. We were using night crawlers in 20 feet of water.

Water Temp = 67 degrees, main lake clear, river arms stained. I have been on the water quite a bit the last week or so with some excellent results to report. Night crawlers are working better than minnows for Walleye and bass right now for some reason. I'm not even taking minnows out with me on the boat and that is extremely rare.

Walleye --EXCELLENT-- Fish crank baits over brush in 10 feet of water or try crawlers in 20 feet of water. Yesterday Luke out fished me 8 Walleye to zero. I only had one of the lures he was using on the boat, but I have a bunch in the shop.

White Bass --FAIR to GOOD--I have been catching between 5-10 on my fishing trips. I would troll deeper water looking for suspended fish if I was targeting only the white bass.

Crappie --FAIR--Still seeing some come in, but not as many. The upper Canadian remains the place to go for them. Casting small grubs or minnows in 4-6 feet of water has been the ticket.

Channel cats --FAIR to GOOD--They are now starting to be caught in the main lake and its coves. You can still catch them up the river arms, but the bigger fish have moved into the main lake. Use stink baits or chicken livers in 4-8 feet of water. fish near reeds and brush for the best results.

Large and Small mouth bass--GOOD to EXCELLENT-- Top water early for the Smallies and senkos whacky rigged later. The large mouth are on their beds in 4-6 feet of water.
