Water Level:

Is only down about a foot from our last report.

So your docks should still be O.K. 

There is a bit more beach on Sand island.

The sandbar at Northampton is just starting to come up.

There is about 8' of water in stump ally, so it is still negotiable.

The Brush is up at the trap Islands.

There is a lot more sandy areas at Mosquito Bay.

Water Temperature:

is 73-74 degrees at the surface in Mayfield. (A little warmer by the Dam)

Fishing:

has slowed down a bit

Walleye - people are catching a bunch but 13" - 14" ( just under legal size)

*** The Fishing Federation has raised enough $ through events like their fishing contest and the Walleye challenge to release over 10,000 10" Walleye this October!!

Bass - are holding steady with a bunch of 17"-19" Smallies coming in
Northerns - Are the same 27" - 30" fish coming in in shallow water and weed beds.

Carp - are biting like crazy!

Don't forget the Dam Tie Up
August 9th from 12-5

Tip of the Week:

Its time for the Mid summer cooler clean up! That stuff growing in there is NOT for a science project!
