Northern Pike- Cooler water temps have moved a lot of northerns shallow into the weedbeds,best areas had weeds coming near the surface in 11-8 feet of water,chrome/blue and fire tiger 5/8 ounce spoons worked the best for us

Lake Trout-still finding some lakers out deep in 120-130 feet but also finally found some moving up shallower in 65-55 feet,water temps were 58 on Wednesday morning so they should really start to move shallow in the next couple weeks

Smallmouth Bass-still the best fishing we have going out there right now for size and numbers,we’re catching some on jigs and plastics but slip bobbers with fathead or small sucker minnows are catching most of the fish for us,we also caught a few nice ones up shallow while casting spoons for pike

Salmon-fish are still being caught in the bays with some decent numbers showing up at times,Fish and Game has been out gathering fish for their spawning efforts at the hatchery,one report said they are somewhere near 450,000 eggs collected so far
