April 16th Main Lake Water Temp. Mid 50s
The Lake elevation is 3781.39 Storage is 158,100 acre ft.
The Main Lake is stained.
The weather finally provided 3 stable days in a row this past weekend and the fishing was outstanding!
Bass moved up and were hitting reaction baits in shallow water, 3 to 6 feet. Rapala DTs, Bandit 200s, ChatterBaits, and Keitech Swim Baits all produced some eye opening limits.
Sun Country Bass Assoc. held a 2 day tournament over the weekend and the results are impressive, to say the least. There were 24 teams and 14 of them weighed 2 day limits of 10 fish. 13 of those had total 2 day weights that exceeded 20 lbs!
1st Place-Brad Jameson & Todd Towns-28.50 lbs.
2nd Place-Kevin Smith & Josh Tidenberg-25.26
3rd Place-Chris Pierce & Tyler Decker-24.60 lbs.
Hereford Bass Club is hosting a 1 day open tournament this coming Sunday, April 21st from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM. You can enter early here at Ruf-Nec Tackle or at the Marina parking lot before 6:30 AM Sunday morning.
It appears that Walleye are finished spawning in parts of the lake but there are still some areas that have milting males. There were some nice limits of 'Eyes caught on Rapala Shad Raps in upper Ute Creek.
White Bass are still very good trolling with Crankbaits such as Flicker Shad and Bomber Flat As. The Canadian Arm above Horseshoe Bend was the best area this past week.
Catfish are good using Punch Bait on baited holes in upper Ute Creek.
Still no reports on Crappie.
Be sure and check out the pictures of some of the fish weighed in last weekend in the Catch of the Week.
