Bill with grandsons Michael and Austin with a nice batch of Walleye taken 7/6/11.
Some folks from Amarillo, Texas with their catch taken in late June.
Water temp = 76 degrees, main lake clear with the river arms stained.
The fishing for most species remains good. There are days when it is tougher than others, but that is why they call it fishing. My best suggestion for you during the next week or two is to be on the water early and get off it around noon -----it is HOT and it sounds like it will remain HOT. Another suggestion is if you are keeping your fish for supper, throw them right on ice when you catch them this time of year. Live wells do not keep fish alive that well in the hot temps we are having. Nothing like butchering fresh fish that are mushy because they have been 1/2 cooked in a live well!!!!!
Walleye--GOOD--Crawlers in 15-30 feet of water or trolling over brush in 8-20 feet of water.
Catfish--GOOD--Liver or stink baits in 4-30 feet of water.. They seem to be spread out all over the lake.
Crappie--SLOW--The bite is over. You might catch one here and there, but do not count on a bunch of them.
Small and Large mouth bass--FAIR--I'm seeing a bunch of them surfacing in the morning, and I continue seeing them through the morning ---just cruising around 2-3 feet under the surface.
White bass --FAIR-- I have caught a few, but not very many. I would stick to the coves a little more if I was after them
