The report at a glance
Depth
16 to 20 feet
Presentation
Bait fishing in deeper, cooler water and channel inlets
Lures and baits
Uncle Larry's Power Spinner
Trigger Spoon - Frankenstein (for browns)
Other techniques
Trolling earlier in the week, now ineffective
Water temperature
~74°F surface temps
Water clarity
Poor
Water level
Normal lake level; heavy weed growth creating surface debris
Weather
Warm days; recent big moon cycle affecting bite
Advice for this week
Switch to bait fishing and focus on deeper water near cooler channel inlets. Keep your gear clean—debris and weeds are thick.
What is changing
The trolling bite has completely shut down due to rising temps and poor clarity. Browns were active earlier but have dropped off.
Next week
Trolling will likely be fully out—expect strictly a bait bite moving forward. Brown trout action should improve again as we move closer to fall. Keep the Frankenstein Trigger Spoon ready when that window opens back up.
