FISH BEING CAUGHT


The white bass fishing continues to get better. There are a lot of white bass between 10" and 15" being caught.
There are still fair numbers of male walleye in the river, most are running between 14" and 20".

White bass and white perch fishing is very good. Anglers are catching large numbers of both species. Walleye fishing is slow.


BEST BAITS


White bass anglers are having the best success with shiners fished below a bobber.

The best bait to catch walleye are floating jig heads tied about 18-24 inches above a weight. The amount of weight depends on the amount of flow. At low flow try
3/8 oz weight; at high flow try
3/4 0z weight.
Tip the jig with a brightly colored plastic tail--pink, green, yellow--fluorescent colors seem to work the best.
A variety of baits will work well for white bass including jigs, jigs tipped with minnows, or minnows fished under a bobber.

The floating jigs will continue to work for walleye.

BEST LOCATIONS


The best area to catch white bass is from Side Cut Park to Jerome Rd.
Try fishing between the bridges and at Rodger Young Park.

OUTLOOK


Outlook for the week is very good.

Most anglers are targeting white bass with little effort being expended on walleye.

COMMENTS

Walleye fishing should continue to be fair through the week.

Some walleye shorter than the 15-inch minimum length limit are being caught. Do NOT keep any walleye shorter than 15 inches. Take a ruler with you. White bass and white perch fishing should continue to be good this week.

Anglers should still be aware that some
