June 9, 2011 Lake Report

Lake Monroe is down to a mere 10' over normal pool, with the water dropping and the level still somewhat high, fishing is decent. Largemouth bass seem to be returning to a normal summer pattern, post spawn!! Some largemouth seem to be keying in on topwater action with the majority of fish active in less then 8 feet of water. Surface temps continue to increase with the extremely warmer days and nights. The walleye seem to be fair at best with very few stellar days so far, best chance for walleye seems to be drifting nightcrawlers along the flats and long points. The average size seems to a bit smaller then past years, but I am sure that will change with the weather. Wipers seem to be hitting decent for the trolling anglers, a variety of lures and baits are being used. Early morning and late evening always seem to increase the chances of both wipers and walleye.

Lake Lemon, although staying near normal pool due to the lowhead spillway, the lake always boasts decent catches. Most of the Largemouth seem to be still following a spring type pattern in the post spawn mode which is peculiar. Jerkbaits and spinnerbaits seem to still be a viable option in seeking the bucketmouth line stretchers!!  Crappie can still be caught 3-6 feet deep off the brush piles and schooling along shorelines. Crankbaits and minnows seem to be the preferred baits for those larger crappie. Not much sign of catfish, however we have not pursued them lately on Lemon.

No Report for Cataract this week, I will try to get over there shortly and get something for you all. If you happen to find a good pattern or method on any of the lakes, feel free to share it here on the blogspot.

Good Fishin to all,

Ranger Nick
