Beaver Tailwaters
This weather sure has been nice for fishing! With the days getting shorter, this is providing a nice opportunity to catch some really nice fish. We are seeing better walleye and brown trout numbers, as fall presses on.
Fishing has been pretty good this week. We have been getting great results using Pautzke Fire Bait, Fire eggs and minnows fished with light terminal tackle. A pink or white Fire egg, floating a nightcrawler has done great. Fire bait, fished on bottom, is producing nice number. With the fire minnow, you want to use a 1/16 oz. jig head, with a slow action. This method is also great during generation. With this method, you can pull a few fall walleye, as well.
Casting ¼ oz. spoons, along with pulling Flicker Shads are producing nice numbers. We are losing a little water in the system, with most of the generation happening in the evening hours. The water temperatures have been pretty consistent, from Houseman Access to the dam, with slightly higher temperatures, downstream towards Table Rock.
Hooked on Fishing Guide Service, Beaver Lake report: Cooler months are upon us. Lake temperature will start dropping fast and the annual striped bass migration has already started. Stripers can be caught throughout the entire lake. Main lake channel swings, humps, islands, mud flats are all producing fish. Trolling live bait is producing good stringers. Top water is present but not consistent every day.
Crappie bite is good with limits being caught. They’re holding on trees, docks, points and bridges. Livescoping roamers is picking up. Best color baits are any combo of chartreuse. Spider rigging bite is also producing good stripers.
Smallmouth are still deep holding on submerged hilltops. Anything fished near the bottom should get bites. Water
temperatures are in the middle 60s to 70°.
