May 12th
Main Lake Water Temperature is in the lower 60s
The Lake elevation is 3785.76
Storage is 186,500 acre ft.
The Main Lake is clear
The bite is holding well most species and the weather forecast for the week looks good. It's time to come to Ute and go fishing!
Crappie are still pretty good. The males are shallow and hitting live Minnows, Road Runners, and Spinners. The females are deeper, 10 to 15 feet. We had several reports of females being caught by people trollng for White Bass.
Trolling is still working well for White Bass with crankbaits that run 10 to 12 feet deep. The Canadian seems to be producing the best for Whites.
Walleye are scattered all over the Lake. You can find a few shallow and you may also find some in 40 feet of water. There doesn't seem to be any clear pattern to them.
Catfish are good on Punch Bait and Nightcrawlers.
Bluegill are very good on Nightcrawlers and small jigs.
The Bass bite is still very good. Smallmouth are spawning and it looks like Largemouth are getting ready. Several baits are working for both species. A few of them are Swim Baits, Vibrating Jigs, Swim Jigs, Ned Rigs, and Wacky Rigged Stick Worms. Shallow flats and rock points are good areas, smaller pockets amnd coves are also worth checking out.
Hereford Bass Club will host an open tournament Sunday, May 17th from 5:30 AM to 1:30 PM. You can enter early here at Ruf-Nec Tackle on Friday and Saturday and also at the Marina parking lot before 5:30 AM Sunday morning.
Tip Top Bass Club is also hosting an open tournament Sunday. You can enter this tournament before safe light Sunday morning at the Marina parking lot.
We are open every day of the week so be sure to stop in say hello while you are visting the Lake.
I will be fishing Tuesday morning but should be back in the store by 12:00 PM.
As always, I really appreciate your business!
Tight Lines and Good Fishing!
