Fishing the pumping station 6.18.21

Went to pumping station last 3 days and killed it. Caught white bass, pike, and catfish all on artificial swim baits. Catfish were also biting good on worms or really anything dropped by the large water outflow. Water has been a little high for this year recently but not really high at all, I think the large rain we had has led to the fishing being there.

Fishing flooded ditches 6/9/20

Fished the flooded ditches around the lewis and Clark management areas. The river is just above flood stage and the current is flowing through them readily. Fished near a culvert outflow and caught tons of carp and catfish! Most were really nice sized. All the fish were caught with worms.

Flyfishing carp

Went to core pumping station, water was flooding and muddy but there were schools of shallow carp so I went with the fly rod and did well with a purple dry Adams fly. Biggest was 9.5 lbs!

Cranking for eyes 5.31.19

Went out on my boat alone today and managed some fish. Water is darker than has been due to June rise staring, was super slow on lindys so switched to cranks and picked some nice fish up. Gold cranks was the color in about 13 to 14 ft at 2 to 2.5 mph

5.28.19 my boat is nice!

Went out with Haley and Amanda today on a lovely 75 degree day with light South winds, that ended up making for some waves but it was still super nice. We caught 5 walleye, 4 keepers, all at 15ish feet. Also picked up some big drum, a huge crappie, and some white bass. White bass ate shallow and spawning so havn’t caught a lot of big ones from boat. We were using minnows and lindy rigs. People are still doing good from shore for walleye too.

Walleye 5.25.19

Went out in the boat today managed 9 walleye. Caught them from 9 to 17 however people at the cleaning station were jigging in 22 feet of water. They seem to be all over and are moving out of post spawn. Bite is still good though. Weather was nice, with a bit of wind, water temp 58 degrees.
