The recent rain and subsequent run-off has lowered the temperature of the water. Visibility however was fair, 6-7 ft, The Big bass were in ambush mode and most of the strikes I got were very aggressive. They were staging under overhangs in around 3'-4' next to a weed line or drop off. In General smaller bass were actively feeding and the fishing was fantastic. Long Lake is happening right now!

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!
