Here we are in the dog days of summer, but you can still catch fish. The nite bite slowed down alot this week, you have to hit alot of different banks. The topwater bite for bass early was good using any topwater bait.

You can still catch some walleye 35-40ft on flats and points with jigging spoons.

The whites,hybrids and strippers are down 40 ft. in 60-80ft. Caught a couple in the 30 lb class along with some 20's. These fish were caught spooning.

The lake is at 547.6.

Till next week Good Fishing!!!!!!!!! 8-6-06

Trout: Norfork river: with generation occuring the boat
fishermen have been doing well with Rapala's, Colorado Spoons, Zig Jigs, and power bait. the Fly Fishermen are doing well also using streamers or nymphs.

Wooly buggers and sowbugs or scuds have done well recently. With a little rain shower now and then, look for the small tributaries comming into the rivers and fish them! San juan worms or egg patters have done nicely. Get ready or the Hopper action due to the warm weather! Also try some terrestials...
