August 26th Main Lake Water Temp. upper 70s
The Lake elevation is 3787.55
Storage is 199,100 acre ft.
The Main Lake is clear
The USGS site is down this morning so I can't update the Lake information. The weather forecast is calling for cooler temperatures and chances for rain everyday through next Monday!
White Bass were pretty good over the weekend. Trolling from the mouth of Ute Creek to Horseshoe Bend with Crankbaits that run 12 to 15 feet deep was producing good numbers of nice sized Whites. #7 Model A Bombers and 300 Bandits are both good choices.
Walleye are still pretty slow but I had a couple of reports that sounds like they are starting to move up. Berkley Gulp Minnows rigged on jig heads and cast into 6 to 10 feet of water did work some over the weekend.
Crappie are slow.
Catfish are fair to good on Chicken Liver.
Bluegill are good on live worms.
Bass are starting to move up some also. I had one report of some really nice Smallmouth coming from 7 to 10 feet of water on Senko style baits. As cooler weather sets in and the Shad move into the coves for a period of time before they drop down into deep water the Bass will usually follow and the reaction bite will get good for a while. We may be seeing the start of this pattern.
I don't know how the week's weather forecast will affect the Labor Day Weekend crowd, but as always, please be safe, we don't need sirens!
Until Next Week,
TIGHT LINES, GOOD FISHING, AND "MAKE 'EM BITE"!
