Fishing Report 3.1.12
- White perch: Very good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that white perch fishing remains consistent, and fish are feeding in open water on the edges of humps 30-35 feet deep. Schools are a mix of large and small fish, so don’t move on just because you catch a few small ones. Fishing small minnows on a modified Sabiki rig is the best technique. Continue reading

Fly Fishing
We would like to make some fly recommendations to our fly fisherman. Your box should always include at least a few classics, such as olive woolly buggers, various nymphs, and some midges. One of the patterns you want to be 100% sure you have right now is something that mimics a blue winged olive, which is an adult mayfly. A blue winged olive parachute should be highly successful this time of year.
The Cold Weather is Coming
The weather has really started to change over the last few days. These lower temps are going to make catfish bite better and larger fish will be moving more. The cut brim bite is very slow I would try using stink bait, chicken liver, or cheese, anything with a strong smell. Bass are moving into the shallow water and can be seen schooling up bait fish along the banks. If you can find a bait cloud you have a pretty good chance of getting something to bite. The bass are biting on spinnerbaits and shad shaped cranks baits.
