Penny Norris from Hobbs N.M. with a 22.5 inch Walleye and the rest of her catch.

Main lake lightly stained, river arms stained.  Water temp = 74 degrees , Lake is approx. 16 feet low.

Fishing is picking up everyday.  It got pretty tough after the latest gully washer, but you are now able to catch quite a few fish once again.

Walleye--GOOD--Minnows /crawlers fished in 10-30 feet of water near the main lakes channel will produce fish.  Trolling crank baits along brush lines and sometimes out in the channel will also catch some suspended fish.

White bass--GOOD--Trolling crank baits up past Watson is the best place.  I'm still catching a few crappie while using this same tactic.

Channel cats --EXCELLENT--stink baits or chicken liver fished in 2-6 feet of water near brush will hammer them.

Crappie--FAIR--Still catching some trolling,  but minnows up the Canadian is the better place to be.

Smallmouth bass--GOOD--any rocky flat will produce many 12 inchers. Deeper rocky points are where a few bigger ones are hanging out.

Largemouth bass--FAIR--have not heard much about them.  They should be up in the coves and brush getting ready to spawn.  Spinner baits early and late are a good bet.

Make sure to get your fishing license on-line b-4 you get to the lake.

FIREWORKS are JULY 6th (Saturday evening)

FISH-ON,
