Water Temp = 56 degrees water clarity 6-8 feet in main lake. Lake level is currently 16 feet from going over dam.
We have been catching quite a few walleye the last week using crawlers or minnows fished in 10-16 feet of water near the primary points of the main lake between the dam and the confluence of the Ute creek. Trolling has also been producing a few Walleye, but White bass are hitting better than Walleye when trolling.
Walleye--EXCELLENT--Minnows/crawlers in 10-16 feet of water on the bottom using Carolina rigs or bottom bouncers. Trolling near the shore line will also produce a few fish.
White bass--GOOD to EXCELLENT--Trolling crank baits up near Horseshoe will produce a few fish. Mine Canyon area is also a good place to troll.
Small mouth--GOOD to EXCELLENT--CRank baits or plastics or live bait fished in 6-16 feet of water will produce many 10-13 inch fish. Bigger ones are hard to come by, but you will catch one here and there.
Large mouth--POOR to FAIR--I have not seen many caught and have not heard of any good reports. I expect them to start moving up if the water continues to warm.
Crappie--POOR--no reports except for a few being caught at night off of the marina using lights.
Catfish--POOR to FAIR--Everyday is different with these critters. The bite should improve with warmer water temps.
REMEMBER TO PURCHASE YOUR FISHING LICENSES ON-LINE BEFORE YOU GET TO THE LAKE. (WE ARE NO LONGER SELLING THEM LIKE IN YEARS PAST)
FISH-ON,
Rob and Maria
