FISHING REPORT

August 31st Main Lake Water Temp. 79 Degrees

The Lake elevation is 3783.22. The USGS reading instruments have been down for about a week, but the Lake level has stayed stable over that period. Ute Creek and the Canadian are muddy and the Main Lake is stained.

Fishing this week was pretty tough. The Lake level has stabalized so everything should start to settle down and the bait fish should start to gather again. Look for the bite to improve over the next week, or so.

Derrick Dawson brought his stringer of Walleye, Whites, and a Catfish for a picture Saturday morning. We are always more than happy to take your picture and weigh your catch, just bring them by the store.

Ray Vigil sent a picture of the Bear he bagged this month. I don't know much about Bears, but it looks big to me!

Bass-Slow-Not mu8ch has changed. The best bet is Topwater early in the morning. We are hearing more about Pop Rs and Frogs than any other bait.

Tip Top Bass Club held a 1 day tournament this past Sunday:

1st Place-Todd Towns-7.62 lbs.

2nd Place-Michael Sonnier-4.99 lbs.

3rd Place-Donny McWhorter-4.90 lbs

Big Bass-Tod Towns-2.74 lbs.

White Bass-Fair-Slabs fished in 30 to 35 feet of water are working best. The Canadian from the Golf Course to Watson Island has been where folks have been having the most success.

The Eagles 2nd Annual White Bass Tournament was held this past Saturday, and most participants found it pretty tough. However, as always a few hit the right spot at the right time. Joe Locke won with a total of 44 lbs. Wes Whitaker was 2nd with 36 lbs.

Catfish-Fair-Minnows, Chicken Liver, and various Stinkbait have been working. Most of the folks I talked to have been fishing in 6 to 20 feet of water in the coves on the Main Lake.

Crappie-No Reports

Walleye-Slow-A few caught this week on Live Minnows in about 30 feet of water.
