July 21st
Main Lake Water Temperature is in the lower 80s
The Lake elevation is 3785.17
Storage is 182,500 acre ft.
The Main Lake is stained
Considering the heat, the fishing is holding it's own.
White Bass-They are feeding on Shad spawn on or near the surface. Crankbaits and Casting Spoons are working well. Look for them on main lake flats.
Walleye-There really weren't many reports from Walleye fishermen this week. It appears that they have moved into deeper water. When they move into this Summer pattern one good choice for a deeper presentation is a Gulp Minnow on a Jig Head.
Catfish are moving into deeper water, as well. 25 to 30 feet is what we hearing now. Punch Bait and Nightcrawlers are working.
Bluegill are very good on Nightcrawlers.
Crappie- It is a night bite on live minnows.
Bass-They are holding up well. I have had reports of the larger Smallmouth being in 15 to 25 feet of water on main lake points. Drop-Shots, Neko Rigs and Wackey Rigs have been working on these deeper Smallies. Tuesday morning I caught keeper Smallmouth pitching Texas Rigged MaxScent Generals and Flat Worms to cover in 2 to 6 feet of water. I do agree, I think the larger Smallies are schooling in deeper water. Largemouth seem to still be in shallower water and Top Water is working some for them. Hereford Bass club had some really impressive weights for their Tournament Sunday. See Catch of the Week.

I have mentioned several times that I try to take Wednesday mornings to fish. I have finally decided that trying to designate a specific day is never going to work. Now I will say that I am going to try to fish either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning depending on which day will work. I will always be back to the store by noon, barring unforeseen circumstances.
As always, I really appreciate your business!
Tight Lines, Good Fishing, and Make 'Em Bite!
