Trout fishing has remained steady, although fish are more scattered than they were during the low-water period. Anglers are catching rainbow trout on Pautzke Fire Bait, Little Cleos and Rooster Tails. With the higher water, focusing on current seams, eddies and slower water along the banks has been producing the best results. Increased flows have spread trout throughout the system, so don’t be afraid to move around until you locate active fish. Similar observations about warmer water and more dispersed trout have been noted in recent regional reports.

Walleye fishing continues to transition into a summer pattern. “Most of our success this week has come while pulling crankbaits and covering water. Fish are beginning to settle into their summertime locations, and trolling has been the most consistent way to locate active fish. While some walleye are still being caught by anglers casting jigs and live bait, crankbaits have accounted for the majority of our better fish.
