Topwater flies - Poppers in the afternoon and subsurface; gamechangers or baitfish patterns in the morning. A great time to be on the river right now, most fish are still pre-spawn mode.

The river was 15,500 CFS which is a lot of water but fish were taking poppers and streamers along the banks from 11-3:30 PM. All fish we boated were pre-spawn so look for spawning activity to increase soon.

We are excited to get this season going and looking forward to a summer and fall of fantastic fishing. Smallies should be fun with the higher flows so far and muskies will be targeted whenever the water temps are under 70 Degrees, early Summer and late summer/fall.
