Fishing Report August 23, 2010

Lake Conditions: Surface water temps 72-75 degrees, Water Clearity: Cleaning up, slight tanish/green stain, clearity about 2 feet. Lake levels: spring like levels are maintaining do to frequent rain fall. Out of the last 23 days its rained 12 days.

Fished with repeat clients Roy and Peter Yawn from the twincities area last Saturday. Saturday was a perfect fishing day weather wise....fish were still in post front lockdown. Morning bite was very slow, missed a few fish, fish not taking the bait agressively....perhaps slashing at the bait in annoyance. Started picking up some fish as the sun got overhead on tubes and grubs. Had four fish over 4 pounds and about 10 fish in the 2 to 3 pound range. Another tough day on the water.

Forcast....Cold front and strong winds comming in tonight...so it looks like more of the same this week. For the perch fisherman....some perch being caught shallow....could it be a early season???
