And the Lake is touching the launch ramp - hard to believe - guess those thunderboomers rained oodles amounts of water in the backcountry - we're actually looking like a Lake - J!

Summer fish, or fish that like the warm water are still biting good! Because the temperatures are still nearing high 90?s or 100?s most fishermen will not be able to venture out to fish for too long in that kind of heat.

Last week and last weekend produced a lot of trout but this week's fishermen are having a little more of a challenge catching them from shore. Trollers seem to do just fine using downriggers but if you're boat isn't set up that way the best chance is fishing off the bottom with PowerBait while anchored in deeper water or just drifting near the channel.
