FISHING WITH THE GUIDES
by George Langley
August 23, 2010 FISHING REPORT:

As we are slipping into the fall patterns, we are still going to get some warmer weather. Not like last year, when we had all our fall weather during the summer. We have, at this time, some rather cool water temps compared to a normal summer. Warmer than last year, however, and higher water levels. This rain received last week was enough to really help some of the lakes, but again, the seepage lakes almost seem beyond help in many cases.

Water sports in general will slow down now and the lakes will revert back to being the playground for anglers. Every year, the fishing for many species is very good during the fall period and we all eagerly wait for this time. We are already seeing the early start of some color on some stressed trees, and the green tint on the maples is starting to lighten. It should be a great year for fall color. Can't wait!

Walleye fishing has improved somewhat, especially on the Chain in the last week or so. These fish are all over the place, from the holes to the weeds. The best way to fish on the Chain is to start in the weed areas and, failing to find fish there, moving deeper to the hole edges. Jigs and minnows are starting to produce again - another clear indication of fall. The larger lakes are also starting to produce, both in the weeds and on those deep rock bar areas. It has been a tougher summer on these lakes, especially during daytime hours. The fall fishing, including larger fish, will be much better on these big lakes.

Bass action really took a dip in the last several weeks. As we have been a little bit on that temperature roller coaster, we have felt the fish were just reacting to that. The other thing about smallies - as the crayfish die away they will start to search out minnow populations, and thus disperse somewhat from their summer rock bar habitat. Largemouth have remained in the weeds and are still hitting well on plastics and on surface baits.

Northern action remains good to great and they are still hitting well in the weeds. For those who would like to try live bait, just slip bobber with redtail or creek chubs along deeper weed edges. A lot of these fish are caught especially by musky fishermen throwing bucktails in the weeds, so that tell us what to use for them as far as artificials go.

Musky action is pretty good for this time of year. Some decent daytime action has been reported throughout the area, and this pattern will strengthen during September. The night fishing for these fish remains good and will be the same for some time now.

Panfish action is a little slower as the water temps decline. The bluegills are still in the weeds and still hitting, but as the summer goes on their numbers are reduced by anglers and natural predation. Crappies are hitting in the brush piles and deeper weeds on minnows. Perch are locating in deeper weeds and are hitting well on leeches and minnows.

What happens with our fishing from this point forward will depend on weather - if we get cold fronts, expect walleye and musky to hit. On the other hand, warm fronts will bring on the bass and panfish.

Good luck & good fishin'!
