Bluegills are also moving back into shallower water and schooling up after being scattered throughout the weed beds all summer long. Spring time from just after ice out until mid to late June is the second best time of the year to be fishing. Fishing runs from hot to cold as the fish enter their spawning runs and the different bug hatches appear. Walleyes spawn early in the channel leading to Child Lake and then gradually spread out over the rest of the lake. Bass can be tight lipped for a couple of weeks after they spawn.
Summer time is always the most frustrating for anglers.
You know the fish are there and you know they are feeding heavily. Mostly because, during the day, fish go deep to avoid the busy surface activities and also to look for cooler water. Finding the right water temperatures and depths and fishing during the early morning and late evening hours are the keys to productive summer time fishing.
