July 15 (Chippewa Flowage)

[Pete Rich]

I didn't fish this past weekend. Had a state softball tourney in Steven's Point. We played ok and got knocked out mid day Saturday. Fished for 3 hours today. I lost one but water temps kept climbing. I decided to pull the plug on the flowage for a few day and hope water temps come down. Smaller fish should release well but I'm not fishing for smaller fish. Water temps are 80 to 83 and don't feel it's responsible to target larger fish. Hope we get a cool down. Until then it's off to find cooler water on other lakes.

Good Luck

thanks for the report Pete and also your decision to let em be till it cools a bit.

Yeah no problem. I just got some bad news about dead fish on the flowage. I'll give a full report after I talk to my buddy who saw it.
