When the river comes up, the river must go down. The water is falling fast and the fish don’t like it. Saturday the bite went from a pretty easy to navigate pattern to NO pattern. By Monday when a big front hit the big fish had shut off and there is no real pattern since. I have been just hitting spots and hoping they tell me something to work with. The numbers remain good but big fish are few and far between this week. It has been a few days since the big front so they have to eat sometime. The water temp is hovering between 68 and 69. That coupled with time of year says the spawn is just around the corner.
Both suckers and goldeyes are working. Sit times have been about 20-25 minutes but I suspect longer might get a big fish to bite.
The weather looks good so at this point all we can do is go fishing and grind away on them until the tell us something we can use to get back on track.
