Water clarity is excellent and aquatic vegetation is present in many areas.

Muskellunge - Good: Muskie are in post-spawn mode and there has been an increase in muskie activity. Anglers have been reporting good catch rates and lots of follows. Anglers need to be persistant as much of the action comes in a small window of opportunity. If you get a muskie to follow, but can't get it to bite, return to that area later that day and try again.

Largemouth Bass - Good: Anglers are picking up a lot of nice bass while fishing for muskie.

Walleye - Fair: Some walleye are being picked up casting crankbaits.

Bluegill - Good: Good sized bluegill were being caught close to shore earlier this week.

Crappie - Good: Live minnows are working a lot better than plastics.
