FISHING WITH THE GUIDES
by George Langley
June 21, 2009 FISHING REPORT:

We are now in summer conditions for our water sports, with temps up unto the 70's throughout the area. The last fish to spawn - bluegills - are on their beds and spawning right now. The mayfly are hatching or have hatched on most area lakes, which has caused many fish to move to the mud flats to feed. Lake levels remain low to very low, with no appreciable rain in the last week. All year we have had forecasts of rain, with the rain that does fall going south of here. It is very frustrating for those of you with big boats, as many landings are tough to use. Weed growth is great, with a lot of the "musky cabbage" right up to the top. This is providing great cover and feeding areas for all fish.

Walleye fishing is good, with the balance of the walleye population of all lakes feeding primarily on mayfly larvae during this "Hex" hatch. This means you will find these fish mostly over soft bottom mud flats, and that parts of night crawlers or smaller leeches are working best. Those anglers still fishing weeds are reporting some success on jigs and minnows during the daytime, but the early mornings and evenings are best fished in those soft bottom areas. Some big fish have been caught just out over deep water also.

Bass fishing is assuming its summer patterns, with largemouth in the heavy cover alsong shorelines and in the weeds. Smallies are pretty much done spawning, but there are still some on beds in the northern part of the reading area. Some fish spawned quite late this year because of the cold front that kept coming through. For largemouth now, fish the weeds and wood cover. Surface baits and plastics rigged in a weedless manner will work best for these fish in cover. We have had great action on poppers and Hula Popper in the evenings on a number of lakes. Smallmouth are in deeper water now. Look for rock structure on all smallmouth lakes for best results. Leeches and crawlers work well for these fish, but the most exciting way to fish them is with tube jigs or crayfish imitation lures in 6 to 10' of water next to or over rock.

Northerns have been in the weeds in strength. The best way to fish these fish is with chubs, fishing on the deeper weed edges. Some anglers will successfully slip bobber these fish over deep weeds on clear lakes.

Musky action is good, but now spread out over all types of structure and all times of the day and night. You can find these fish suspended in 40' of water and in 3' of water in the weeds. This also means that all types of baits are working well now. Many of the tournament anglers feel the bigger fish are all suspended and are fishing them with rubber in deep water. Move around if you are looking for these fish, and change styles of fishing if you are not getting fish.

Panfish action is great, especially for bluegills now. hey are right on the shorelines spawning now, and can quite often be seen before you fish them. Waxworms work best for these fish right now. We expect this spawn to last a week or so. Perch are over mud flats and in deep weeds now - acting like small walleyes. Crappies are in cribs and deep weeds at this point.

It will be a great fishing week, with the spawn done for just about everything and fish in summer feeding patterns.

Good luck & good fishin'!
