Main Lake Water Temperature is in the upper 50s

The Lake elevation is 3786.32

The Main Lake is clear

 

The bite really picked up this past week for most species. It looks like the weather may bring us a little rain over the weekend but if you don't mind that it is really time to hit the Lake!

Walleye are post spawn and the males really turned on this weekend. The upper Canadian seems to be the best area right now. Trolling with Flicker Shad in 8 to 10 feet of water has been working well. Jig and Minnow combinations are also working well for those that like to cast to the bank.

The upper Canadian is also a good area for White Bass right now. They have finished their spawn, for the most part, and are schooling in 10 to 20 feet of water. Trolling with Model A Bombers was one pattern that worked over the weekend. Also casting with small Swim Baits, In-Line Spinners, and Casting Spoons also is working.

Catfish are improving. Danny King's Punch Bait fished over baited holes produced some nice fish over the weekend.

Crappie are still slow.

Bass are pre-spawn and hitting mostly reaction baits. Crankbaits, Spinnerbaits, Jerk Baits, and Swim Baits are all working for both Smallmouth and Largemouth. Main lake points and secondary points near the mouths of the coves are good places to start.

When you catch a good'un be sure and bring it by the store so we can take your picture for the catch of the week!

With the Chatterbait and Spinnerbait bite turning on, be sure and stop in and check our variety of trailers!

As always, I really appreciate your business!

 

Tight Lines and Good Fishing!
