August 18th
Main Lake Water Temperature is in the lower 80s

The Lake elevation is 3784.76

Storage is 179,700 acre ft.

The Main Lake is stained

 

With most daily temperatures hitting 100 degrees, or more, and the Lake surface temperature over 80 degrees, I think that it safe to say that we have officially entered the Dog Days of Summer!

White Bass-Slow

Walleye-Slow

Catfish-They are fair using Punch Bait on baited holes.

Bluegill are very good on Nightcrawlers.

Crappie-Slow

Bass-At least the Bass bite is still holding up. Smallmouth are active early in the day in shallower water on Swm Baits and also on Top Water. As the temperature rises they are moving deeper. Neko Rigs and Drop Shots are both good choices for the deeper bite. Largemouth are still fairly active, mostly in or near cover in 6 to 12 feet of water.

This has been a very busy year here at Ruf Nec Tackle. I am now getting more time to work on our Private Label tackle. It takes a lot of time to pour, paint, assemble and package these products so I start now trying to have everything ready for early next year. Of course, I am also working getting our Fall Walleye andWhite Bass lures on the wall, as well.

As always, I really appreciate your business!

 

Tight Lines, Good Fishing, and Make 'Em Bite!
