It is peak time to fish for the Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass as they get ready to spawn. Try spinner and chatter baits, lippless crankbaits, and jerk baits in white and shad tones. Colors with chartreuse highlights in stained water work well. skirted jigs with trailers, hula grubs, and a variety of plastics in a range of colors. Translucent colors are often better in clear water. Try a brighter colored jig or bait that you can see well on the bottom to help target bedded fish. Look for Crappie on the outer edges of submerged brush or flooded trees, or suspended adjacent to flat spawning areas. Stripers and Walleye should be on main lake points and humps, trolling shad colored crank and swimbaits should produce fish.
The main lake is still frozen but some of the edges are starting to open up. Look for water with a little more depth to it, cast as close to the ice edge as possible. Throw black/brown leeches, black or white buggers, marabou jigs, swimbaits and tube jigs. Once the ice goes it will be off quick, call us for the most updated report.
Really good nymph action right now for Whiteys, Browns, and Cutthroat. Size 12 stonefly nymphs, sow bugs in a size 14 or 16, and purple Psycho Princes in size 12 would all be good options to tie on your line. There are very few risers but if you want to throw a dry try a midge in sizes 18 to 22.
The river is fishing well on a variety of different bugs. The Blue Winged Olives are still coming off in sizes ranging from 18-20's, as well as Midges also in sizes 18-22. There have been a few sightings of Caddis coming off but it is still a little early, try a tan Elk Hair Caddis in size 14 or 16. We have also had some reports of a few Skwala hatching so bring some big bugs and give them a shot, size 10 yellow Stimulators should work well. As for the nymphs Blue Winged Olives, Stoneflys, Midges, and some Caddis all sizes corresponding to their dry equivalent.
The Lower hasn't changed much in the past week. Still plan on throwing a majority of Blue Winged Olives and Midges in both dry and nymph form depending on your preferred method. If you want to change things up a bit throw on a Stonefly nymph or a Sow bug.
We have been getting good reports from Starvation for both the trout and bass. We have also been getting reports of people getting into trout at Rockport. On both bodies of water the reports have been powerbait, the salmon egg scent in particular, to target the trout. You could also throw dark colored tube jigs, or even some suspending crankbaits. If you are looking to target the bass at Starvation try a deep diving crankbait in a shad or trout color over some deeper water.
The flows on the Green have been low an steady, not much fluctuation. Blue Wings and streamers have been fishing well. Try the Cheech Leech, or a Granato's Chubby Muffin in the brown trout color.
The lake is opening up and now is the time to go hit it. Fish should be hitting on dark colored streamers such as a black leech or a brown bugger. If you want to throw gear tie on a dark tube jig or a rainbow or shad colored Lucky Craft Pointer 78. Powerbait in the salmon egg scent has also been a good option if you want to just cast out some bait and relax while you wait for a hit.
