Water temp is in the mid 60's and climbing. We are also at an average April pool.

Smallmouth Bass-This past week was one of the toughest of the year so far. Most of the larger females are in full spawn mode making them very difficult to target. Most of the fish we caught this week came slow working tube jigs around and near main lake brush and lay downs. Still a few larger females this week coming on swimbaits.

Largemouth Bass-Numbers down a little this week but the size of the fish we have been catching has been great. We were able to pull 2 over 5lbs off the grass flats on swimbaits this week.

Walleye-Fishing although inconsistent this week did produce our biggest Walleye of the year weighing in just over 8lbs. We had some success off the points and bluff walls after dark slow moving stick baits. We still have some prime dates let us know if you would like to book a trip today.

Shell Cracker-This is something we really just started to get going on guides trips this year and the fish has responded well. This is a great way to take the kids out for a great fishing experience. We have been loading the boat so far and look for it to continue. We have had great success bottom fishing around banks with redworms. A good time and lots of action for all.

Crappie- Fishing has been slow with some luck catching them in the creeks around down willows mostly on live bait but fishing has also been decent on floating small jigs tipped with wax worms or minnows and a cork at about 4ft to 6ft.

Rainbow Trout- The year-round cool water temperatures and adequate oxygen levels throughout the water column provide an excellent environment for lake and rainbow trout. A stocking program has established a two-story fishery. There are good numbers of rainbow trout in the 4-to 5-pound range and lunkers from 8-to 12-pounds.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Muskie- This is a fish we do not target just due to the fact you can fish an entire week without a bite. They are not impossible to catch but any stretch but the best chance to hook up would be deep trolling the lake. As we get more info from the local fisherman we will share the info[/FONT]
