August Fishing Report 08/08/16

Here it is the middle of August.

The fishing is still good to excellent. We as a guide service are catching 35 to 60 plus fish per day. Some days it is easy and some days we have to work at it, but that is fishing. We are the leaders in the industry. Not only the leader in taking groups like yours on the Missouri River, but also the leader in finding and catching limits. Our guides are the most talented on catching walleyes. Our record of successful trips speak for itself. One thing about it, if is one of those days where things are a little slow, fish with us is the place to be. No guide service works harder to make your trip successful.

There has been no specific depth on either reservoir. With the amount of bait out there, the water depth from day to day changes. I (Mike) have caught fish from 7 foot to 40 foot in the same area. Spinners and crawlers have been best. Fishing both reservoirs depending on the day. The smally bite is getting better in a few areas, but depends on the day as to how many you will catch.

Here is some pictures from the last couple of days.
