Fishing was very SLOWWWwwww today. The visibility was either 2 ft. or 10 ft depending on where you were in vicinity to the Carp. The flats had active bass that were on a bed or just cruising. The no wind and clear water made them very skittish. Hard to almost impossible to catch. The technique I used was to spot a fish and back off to where I could not see them. Then I would long cast with a ned rig and try to visualize where the fish was. Long day at Long Lake. Caught 3. Biggest was 2.75 lbs

Water has cleared up quite a bit in the last few days. Visibility is 8-10 ft in areas where there are no spawning carp. ie -Lilly pads and shallow vegetation. Fish are very wary and skittish. Long casts and stealth was the key to success today. Caught some nice fish. Found some still on beds. Fishing has slowed down. Beautiful Northwest Day!
