The Lake is almost back to normal power pool. We currently are sitting at 657 and falling. The water temp has cooled from our 93 degree temp last week to around 87 degrees. The water is very clear and mostly free of debree.
Walleye have been coming in in good numbers! Try going deeper on both the sand flats and the high bluff sides of the lake. Many anglers are trolling with deep diving crank baits in the 25 to 30 ft range. Colors to try are Perch and Fire Tiger. Dragging a night crawler on the sand flats has been very effective as well.
Black Bass - Look for the bass to be in their summer pattern. With the water temp increasing, the bass have started hiding in deep cuts on the flats and in large chunk rock off of steep bluffs. Jigs and plastic worms have been the lures of choice in the latest tournaments. Colors to try with the jigs are brown & purple flash or peanut butter & jelly. Colors on the worms have been plum or blue fleck. Early morning has been great for top water as well!
Crappie - Very large crappie have been caught in deep water around submerged trees and brush piles. Live minnows have been the best. Go deep with these hot temperatures.
