Pool 9 is flowing about 2′ above action stage making River access a little challenging. River level has stabilized, with forecast calling for it to remain at this level for perhaps the next 10 days.
water clarity is good >excellent–4’+ in some running sloughs. Water temp is 80

Active walleye bite is 5-7 a.m. with active fish holding in 7-13 fow. MR6 in ghost craw & Bomber 6A in Caitlin pattern both effective. Weeds can be a factor when pulling upstream @ 2.2. Impact can be minimized by trolling downstream @ 1.6. Don’t forget to pulse the rod!

LMB very active on #yamamoto senkos where water clarity is 2’+Stopped @ 25 fish this morning in just 2 hrs. Over half were 14″+

White bass are busting shad up by the dam and back on steeply breaking sand shoals in the running sloughs. Hot bait is #5 Flicker shad/chrome.

Perch are tight against eel grass over sand bottom in 3-8 fow. Orange & chartreuse jigheads w/tiny pinch of crawler pretty deadly.

Pike have been clobbering black buzzbaits & black/blue Jackhammer chatterbaits with 4″ paddletail trailers.

SMB are tight to the rocks on the River mainstem. 1/10 oz #Zman Size 1 Shroom jigheads w/ blue/black or perfect perch TRDs have been very effective.

I have 4 available dates open the last 2 weeks of July, 8 open days in August. Not gonna work any more than that. There are a finite number of days to fish in this lifetime. Only about 130 open water days the rest of this year–none of which is guaranteed
