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,

Rob & Maria
