Pictured aew Dylan and his dad Chris from Kansas City, with a very impressive Beaver Tailwaters Rainbow
Beaver Tailwaters report:
Fishing has been very consistent this past week, and the summer heat ramped up over the weekend. Water levels are still high for the tailwaters, but with the right presentation, you will catch fish.
Pautzke Fire Eggs fished with light terminal tackle on bottom have been successful, along with drifting Fire Worms. Add some Fire Gel to the presentation to increase that hookup.
When the Corps is flowing water, drift the same presentation and you can expect good results. The fish are scattered throughout the system, but most are being caught in the Houseman area in the morning, and up from Hwy. 62 bridge in the evening.
Summertime is a great time to get the kids “unplugged” and outside, why not take them fishing? Teaching kids how to fish is very rewarding. Not only do they learn about conservation, but it is also a great family activity.
Take Dylan and his dad, Chris, from Kansas City. I had the opportunity to get them out on the river this weekend. I was really impressed how well Dylan did while on the water. His dad told me he has been teaching his son how to fish since he was 5, and that Dylan will walk the river with him for miles.
This was evident when Dylan started pulling in fish after fish on our trip. It was awesome to see a young man who had as much passion for the sport as I do.
Well, the summer heat is here, so drink plenty of water, stay cool and catch some fish!

Hooked on Fishing Guide Service, Beaver Lake report:
Striper fishing a has been good last few weeks going into the summer pattern. Fish are still surfacing early in the morning and then heading back down to the cooler water.
Slow trolling live bait has been the most productive in 30 to 100 feet of water. Stay on the main lake and check long points close to deep water, these areas have been the best and constantly are holding stripers.
Make sure you keep your bait close to the thermocline, and you’ll have some success. We are seeing the thermocline about 25 feet down. South end is clearing up since the last rain and the crappie are holding on flats 15 to 25 feet of water. Docks and brushpiles have been good along with open flats if you have Livescope to target those roaming crappies. Water temps low 80s.
