Visibility Will Improve Fast In The Next Two Weeks

62 degree surface water
2-4 ft of visibility
Expect great action soon

• Bluegills in the backwaters have finished spawning and the lake spawners are just waiting for the temperature to increase. I have heard of some nice catches of big gills on the main lake using waxworms or small worms. The east end has been the best location as the gills return from the inlet and their spawning beds.
• Smallmouth are in the middle of their spawning run on the main lake and action has not been as crazy as it should be by now. The water temperature has to go up a little more and than we all can experience the pain of ''bass thumb''. Expect some great action on leeches and crawlers in the next two weeks. Remember to let these fish go so we can all have fun. Smallies are a great catch and release fish for the whole family.
• Walleyes have been good to awful in the last couple days. The wind and storms should have provided the perfect ''bite''. This has not been the case. Some fishermen have had action over the new emerging weeds using crankbaits.
• Lake Trout action has been very good. Some of the lake trout fishermen have been running high lines to target the browns and ciscos. I would start fishing in 50-70 ft of water and move deeper if the action slows.
• The weeds have started to grow on the main lake and are 3-7 ft tall depending on where you are. As the water clears these weeds will really start to emerge. The mill pond is almost weed choked today. This is good for the bass fry and bluegill fry.
