Drought

2006-09-14

Well we need some rain in a big way. The lake is very low. It's down about two feet now from normal. You can see rocks you've never seen before poking  through. It hasn't rained in weeks. It remains warm during the day with highs in the 70's and lows in the 30's. Water temps are around the mid sixties, high for this time of year. There's been little wind until today. A small algae bloom remains on the main lake.

Muskies continue to be seen on summer rocks. Some real big ones have been caught. Last week Dave Notermann released a 45" and a 30ish fish. Chris Juhas released a 42". The PMTT fisherman arrived the last few days. Joe McCartin boated a 53" and Tom Ustaszewski boated a 54 1/2 and a 51".

In Pete Fiala's group they've managed to boat two 41+ northern as well as two walleyes in the 23 inch range. Shane Fletcher released a 26" walleye and a 22" smallie.

Walleyes continue to be caught in fairly shallow water, 12-15 feet. Deep fall patterns still remain ahead.

If a trip north is in your plans, give us a call at 800-249-3178.

May your pole always be bent! Dave
