Here’s a quick heads-up for anyone looking to bend a rod this week. If you’ve been waiting for the green light to drop a line, this is it.
The crew over at Chancy’s Fish Camp just shared the ultimate cheat sheet (on Tuesday, July 28, 2026) for the current lake conditions:
“Whitefish bite is fired up now! JT Tackle just dropped off a whole load of his Whitefish jigs!!! South end lake try Elmo Bay, Rollins area, Skidoo Bay, Narrows and Yellow Bay. North end of lake try Delta, Woods Bay, Sommers, Caroline Pont and Painted Rocks area. Depth mostly 50 to 60′!! Come on down to Fish Camp and load up! Dont forget the net and a cooler of ice!!”
Sounds like the fish are practically jumping into the boat themselves, so grab your gear, trust the coordinates, and go get ’em.
