June 17th Main Lake Water Temp. mid 70s
The Lake elevation is 3786.22
Storage is 189,700 acre ft.
The Main Lake is clear
It is still pretty good fishing for most species. The surface temperature has finally reached the mid 70s and the fish are putting the feed bags on.
Walleye are starting to gather up on main lake points in 15 to 20 feet of water. Casting Gulp Minnows on Jig heads has been working as well pulling Bottom Bouncers with 'Crawler Harnesses tipped with Nightcrawlers.
There were a lot of White Bass caught trolling this week but most of them were small.
Crappie are still different, not much sign of them having spawned. There is a pretty good bite at night using live minnows fished with a light.
Catfish are fair on Chicken Liver. Danny King Punch bait is working well when fished on baited holes.
Bass were good again over the last week. Smallmouth are on main lake points in 12 to 15 feet of water. Ned Rigs and Drop Shots were working the best. Largemouth are shallower and holding near cover. Texas Rigged Senko style baits were working well over the weekend. There is a fair top water bite for both species.

As Summer approaches and fish start to locate on deeper structure you will read a lot here about Drop Shotting working for Bass. It is one of the most effective finesse techniques, but it is not only for Bass, it also works well for summer Walleye. It can be fished at any depth and in any type of cover, as long you match your hook to the cover that you are targeting. There are also several styles of soft plastic baits that are compatible with the specific hook that you choose. We stock a large selection of both hooks and baits to fit your needs, and if you are unsure of the best choice just ask, I am always happy to assist you in any way that I can.
Until Next Week,
TIGHT LINES, GOOD FISHING, AND "MAKE 'EM BITE"!
