FISHING WITH THE GUIDES  with George Langley

Week of 8/24 to 8/31

Late August has settled into the Northwoods, and you can feel fall pushing in around the edges. Mornings are cold, with temps dropping into the 40’s at night with some upper 30’s expected soon! Clouds and sun will mix through the week, with a chance of showers midweek – which we still need as we’ve seen some low water on some lakes. Overall, it looks like a stretch of cooler, comfortable weather that will remind us that summer is nearly behind us. The crowds are thinning and school up here is about to start, leaving the lakes quieter and a little easier to fish.

Water temperatures have eased into the low 70s, and weeds remain thick and healthy. This is still the best place to look for fish in general, …

Some messy weather with heavy rain and lightning put a damper ( get it?) over the weekend through Monday, August 18.

Had some hot and muggy then cool mornings to boot! Looks as if the late August cooldown is on its way.

Lake temps are in the 72 to 74 range on average and not likely to rise with the current forecast. Fishing has plateaued or fallen off in most cases. Not that fish can’t be caught, just action not what it had been. …
