New Report! Monday, October 5th, 2026.
Water temp 64 degrees +-
Level is low and dropping
Clarity on upper 4 is less than 1 foot.
Flow is ok, there is a little current right now.
Walleyes: Has anyone seen one of these mythical creatures? Reports all over the top end of Pool 4 are dismal to say the least. I have caught a few saugers around the resort this week which has not happened in weeks. I am taking that as a good sign of things starting to turn.
Sturgeon: The Sturgeon bite has been the best thing going. Seeing a pretty good influx of fish and fisherman as well. Yesterday at 4 p.m. there were 8 boats fishing Sturgeon between the resort and the dam. 10 years ago there would have been one, maybe. I personally love that folks are starting to pursue these river monsters. I see so many kids out fishing them, makes me happy to see it.
Catfish: Both channel cats and flatheads are biting good. Putting on that fall feed bag for the winter ahead.
Panfish: If you are looking for a fish dinner this is where you need to focus your attention. Crappies and Bluegills are biting very good. Focus on rock or wood along the shorelines and you will be handsomely rewarded.
Good luck to you all and stay safe out there. Show us your recent catches!
