MAYFLIES in mid July

by dave 7/19/2008 2:13:00 AM
Mayflies are hatching in pretty good numbers around our area.  Water temps still haven't settled in on 70 degrees yet but our weeds are finally up and maybe we can put a summer patterns together.  Weather is still wet and cool for this time of year, but nicer weather is coming ,I think.  The water levels are way UP, I'm not sure I have seen water levels this time of year so high, in fact, any time of year. Great cathes of big smallmouth were reported by Cory McNeals group this past week, along with good numbers of walleyes and northerns.  I was on the big lake yesterday and did just fair, (30 walleyes) sometimes i think we're spoiled.  But really, I'm not spoiled, I could not find a good concentration of fish yesterday.  Our deep water fish moved, they were not there, and there were not good numbers of fish in our favorite weed beds.   Today we will try some main lake humps, that can be a fun way to fish if you can get on em'.  It sounds like we should be fishing our smaller bush lakes maybe next week.  Muskys should be going soon, the weeds seemed to mature in just a few days, and if you looked hard enough you could probally find 70 degree water.  Guys from last year did very well musky fishing when the water was 78/79 degrees, we have a long way to go to reach that.  Well, the grass is still too wet to cut, I'll let you know how it went today, fishing that is.
