Fall Water Temperatures Are Here

55 degree surface water
22 Ft of visibility

• Bluegills have been great some nights and hard to find the next. Dartford Bay has been very good on the calm nights and slow with the northeast wind. The Mill Pond continues to produce fish. Black ants or ice jigs tipped with waxworms is the best bait.
• Smallmouth have finally started to move to the drop offs for the good fall bite. Try the Heidel Bar, Sandstone, Sugarloaf, and some of the rocky shorelines for good fall action. Please practice 'catch and release' when you find these fish in big numbers. Minnows will out fish any other bait at this time of year.
• Muskies are hard to find in numbers on this lake but with the great visibility numerous fisherman have reported ''follows'' from some very large fish.
• Northern Pike have moved to the weeds. Fish with chubs or large minnows and expect some very chunky fish.
• Lake Trout is closed and these fish have moved shallow to spawn. You may not target these fish during a closed season but accidental catches are to be released immediately.
• Brown Trout is still open and these fish could be cruising the shorelines. Any small minnow imitation should work well.
