Richard and Roxy from Roswell with supper.

 Dace from Clovis with his fish caught trolling.

 Steve and Elizabeth from Amarillo  some Walleye and White bass

Hayden Teague from Littleton, Co. with a Walleye caught on 6/7/13.

Water Temp = 67 degrees, water clarity 3-4 feet,  15-16 feet from being full.

Fishing had been really good up until Wed. (6/5/13) when 2-3 inches of rain fell in about 1 hour along with 1-2 inches of hail.  The wind also was blowing around 50-60 MPH.  The water temp dropped a few degrees. Both the Ute and Canadian drainages were running for about 2 days ---water level came up only a few inches, but it really turned the fishing into a tough bite.  We have lived here 7 years and I have never seen any water flowing from the arroyos behind our house. On Wed. evening there was 6-7 feet deep rapids flowing ---it was nice to see!!!
My experience on Ute Lake is that it usually takes 3-4 days for the fishing to really get back to where it was.

Walleye--FAIR--Fish are still being caught, but you really need to work to get one or two.  Trolling brush lines  and crawlers in 15 feet of water will catch a couple.

Crappie--FAIR--Minnows up the Canadian will put a few in the boat.  They are now spawning --fish near brush.

Catfish--FAIR to GOOD--Stink baits fished up the Canadian in 3-6 feet of water near brush will get you 5-6 fish.

Small and Large mouth bass--FAIR--Plastics on the flats early and then grubs fished on the rocky points as the day goes on.

White bass--FAIR--Trolling crank baits over the main lake channel along with the mouth of the Ute will catch a few.

Make sure to buy your fishing license on-line b-4 you get to the lake.  You can also call 1-888-248-6866 M-F 8 am - 5pm and get one over the phone.

FISH-ON,
