FISHING REPORT

September 2nd Main Lake Water Temp. 75 Degrees

The Lake elevation is 3785.10 and has remained stable over the past week. The Main Lake is clear, and the River and the Creek are stained. The Lake was crowded this past weekend, but there were really not a lot of fishermen. Most of the traffic were pleasure boaters getting in the last big weekend of the Summer. Now, it is time to get down to some serious Fall fishing!

White Bass-Good-Trolling with deep divers has started producing some nice bags. There is still surface activity, so you can troll and watch for the Whites to school, this gives you a double chance to load the boat! The mouth of Mine Canyon has been a hot spot this week, and also the opening going into Antelope Canyon has seen a lot of activity.

Bass-Fair-Quality Smallmouth are still hitting Topwater well. I have seen a few in the 3 to 4 lb. range caught in the last week. Look for them on long points going out into the Main Lake. Most of the Smallies that I have caught have been on the deep side of the points. Try Pop Rs and Spooks cast shallow and worked all of the way back into 20 feet of water.

Catfish-Good-4 to 6 feet of water seems to be best depth right now. Ute Creek, Bull Canyon, and Mine Canyon have all produced some nice stringers this week.

Crappie-No Reports

We have added entry forms for the Quinn Wilson Memorial and the Logan Open tournaments to the Tournament page. To print these, place the cursor to the left of the form and click and drag over the form. The form will highlight, and then you can select and print. Probably everyone else in the world knows this, but it took me about 10 minutes to figure it out.

We have a full slate of Tournaments coming up over the next month, both Bass and Walleye. It starts this coming weekend with the New Mexico Bass Federation's President's Cup and will finish the first weekend of October with the Granddaddy of them all-The Logan Open. Check the tournament page for all of the upcoming dates. With this many quality fishermen coming we should see some very impressive weights come to the scales over the next month!

Until next week, TIGHT LINES AND GOOD FISHING!
