Adam and Dave had 11 or 12 (there may have been 1 fish that stopped by 2X but not sure) different muskies show themselves ranging between 24” and 45” and Dave caught 1 of them. As luck would have it, he caught the smallest one.. This low, clear water is tough to get anyone to eat near the boat. We had zero musky action between noon and 2pm but we did catch a legal walleye and very legal smallie on musky baits.

The floating/suspending algae is all over the river bottom but the floating stuff is pretty calm for now. As soon as we get some higher flows, I am guessing it will begin to really tear loose again. Water temps have cooled a little with the cold nights and cooler days. We were suppose to be chasing walleye today but without the option to keep baits along the bottom, I decided to reschedule the non-musky trips to later this summer with fingers crossed.

Be careful out there in that skinny water. The CFS is at 1300-ish but with the incoming tributaries in drought conditions, 1300 seems like 1100 south of Warren.


Good luck and stay tuned!
