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.

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!

Spring summary

Ok so quick notes, ice off this year came the first of April basically for the muddy, and the 2ns week for this end of the lake. Fishing has been really good for walleye up until about now as it has been tapering off latley. I believe both walleye and pike are do e spawning on the muddy but walleye may still be on the lake.

Weather has been really nice and waterlevels are above average and really brown. Hope to get out on the lake in my boat tomorrow.

Here are a fee pics.

Core pumping station!

Went out for the second time to the core pumping station just off the Muddy river. They seem to pump on week days till 6 pm. Lots of fish around a good clear water with max depth around 10 ft. I managed 2 pike, a white bass and shiner using jigs and soft plastics.  Need to try lindy spinner next time for eyes!
