Summer fishing is in full swing. Fish are out on the main lake. Spent yesterday fishing from the west (Methodist) all the way to the dam. Caught a smorgasbord including a few drum, 3 big walleye, 1 kitty (catfish), 1 smallmouth (yes it was a smallie, but not very big), and a limit of largemouth with 2 over 21". Kept a Walleye for supper, but returned the rest. Lake was pretty busy, but that is to be expected considering the holiday this week.
Please practice: Keep only what you need, release the rest (especially the largemouth bass).
Bite was best on crankbaits. I threw a Chartreuse medium diver (10-12'). Main lake cooled a bit to 77-79 and the coves were a bit warmer at 81-83. Lake level 1936.23 and falling. Methodist is now getting too shallow to launch. There is 2.3 feet in the cove, but it's barely 1 foot between the jetties. Release is around 480 cu ft, so the tubers will have a great week.
Stay safe this week!
