Not a lot to talk about the last few days. A stretch of hot weather and strong winds have made it difficult, so not a lot of activity. Waubay had a great week last week as did Bitter. Bluegill should be about ready, as the spawn should be about done, so we should be seeing more of them out. Water temps are in the upper 70’s. We’ve had small rains lately so the water levels have started going down. - Submitted by Sportsman's Cove, July 1, 2020
Water temps. has been in that 68-71 degree range. The walleye bite on area lakes has definitely been good. A summer pattern bite is now on. The fish have been in 12-16 feet of water. Crawlers and leeches seem to be the ticket. The pike bite has also been excellent. The quality of pike has been really good. Lots of fish in that 4-6 lb. class. The smallmouth are also very active. We have been catching 30-40 fish per day. All catch and release. Most smallies are in that 17 inch size. The panfish bite has been great for bluegill and crappies. The big crappies have been a little more difficult to target. It is a great time to be on the water. – Submitted by Fish Hunter Guide Service, June 21 , 2020
