Many trout are hitting small Rooster Tails and Blue Fox spinners along with garden hackle. The bronzebacks are taking topwater lures in the early morn-ing and at dusk. During the bright daylight hours, switch over to live bait like medium shiners and worms. Pete reports that fishing between the summer heat and the heavy springlike rain-falls has been tough for most anglers. Water levels rise and fall every other day, but some anglers have been reporting good catches of both bass and walleyes mostly from the larger bodies of water.
Good rigs are Carolina rigs and bottom walkers.
Surface action has also been sporadic in local ponds with most of the action coming mostly at night be-tween the thunderstorms. Lighter and smaller baits seem to be the choice of most anglers.
