Beaver Tailwaters report:
The weather isn’t the only thing that’s hot, the fishing has been on fire! With the water levels receding, the bite has been great. The Corps is starting to flow a little more, which helps with that “push bite,” just remember you need to stay with it.
We have been catching fish with the Pautzke Fire minnow and the Fire worms. Fire Bait® has also produced high numbers. as well. Drifting the worms during flow is the ticket. As we start to transition into fall, start looking at those jerkbaits and spoons a little more.
A few walleye have been caught by drifting the minnows. Hopefully, this heat dome will push out soon. Looking ahead, there is supposed to be a cold front pushing through, keeping most of August below normal temperatures.
Remember for additional updates follow my Facebook page, I’m pretty much on the water every week. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Take care, get out and catch some fish!

Hooked on Fishing Guide Service, Beaver Lake report:
Striper fishing has been really consistent this summer. You have to use your graph to locate these fish since they are pushing down deeper into the thermocline. Fish are holding 30 – 60 feet down in 40 – 120 feet of water. Don’t be afraid to fish open deep water as the bait and the fish are holding in these areas, along with main lake points.
Crappie fishing has been good on flats next to a channel swing 15 – 25 fow. You can also catch them under docks and brush this time of year. Water temp 86°.
