Time to Fish!

[Red Childress]

Looks like we will be chasing walleye on Saturday and muskies-on-the-fly Sunday. I have a feeling there will be some very colored water to contend with if fishing South of Warren.

There will likely be a bass tournament happening on Saturday as well.


Stay tuned and good luck!

We had a very solid day hunting walleye yesterday while fishing some very colored water. The accidental bass fishing wasn’t too shabby either. Our largest walleye was 27.5 and largest bass was was just shy of 4#. Most everything we caught was on the larger side of the spectrum for some reason. Temps ranged between 57.5 and 64 depending on location and floating vegetation was manageable. The bites were especially aggressive with most lures being completely eaten.

Today, we will look for a musky on the fly and not sure of the gameplan until I check the river conditions. Hopefully, the wind will not be too problematic.

Stay tuned and good luck!

A tough day to sling flies with big winds out of the NE and clearing skies. We did not see any fish at boatside but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there as the clarity was around 2 feet. We did hit Matt’s personal best smallmouth around noon. I also had a pike smash my spinnerbait but shook off. That was it for the action.

Getting ready for a 3-day musky stint over the upcoming holiday.


Stay tuned and Good Luck!

We had a great time fishing but the catching was the tough part.. After not see any signs of life for 7 hours, we decided to quit an hour early.

Today, Doug will try to catch his first musky with a fly rod. Let’s hope the wind calms down a little and the toothies wake up a little. River levels are suppose to be falling today too.


Stay tuned and good luck!

Doug worked his tail off trying to get his fly into the right places as the wind made things challenging yesterday. The floating vegetation continued but not quite as bad as Saturday. We finally had a fish flash-off around 12:30 but that was it. Hopefully, the cold front has worked its way thru the area and things are trending upward once again. Water temps south of Warren are around 57 and upstream temps are in the 62 mark.

Jeff will try his luck with the fly rod today. Muskies are on the menu.


Stay tuned and good luck!

It was a little better out there on Sunday as Jeff had a boatside slasher try to steal his fly around 1pm but missed the hooks. Other than that, we had no other action to wrap up a very unproductive 3-day musky stint.

River levels were trimmed back down to very low levels on Sunday nite. Temps around 56-57 south of Warren.


Stay tuned and good luck!

We knew it was going to be a windy day but did not expect THAT much wind………and floating leaves along with tons of suspended strands of river grass. We kept moving North while hunting for fishable water. After 5 hours of unproductive casting, we gave up. Over 70% of our casts came back with salad attached to our lures. We did find a few bass that were interested and that was it.

Today, we are looking for muskies while hoping the winds/vegetation are manageable. Downstream temps are around 55-56 and upstream temps in the low-60’s.

Stay tuned and good luck!
