Some continue to have bass and panfish success on Lake Emily, but success is spotty. Fishing success on Beaver Dam Lake has slowed. The walleye and white bass are biting on Lake Waubesa on hellgrammites. Weeds are coming in strong in Monona bay making the bluegill fishing a bit slower. Jefferson County - Walleye fishing continues to be spotty with the best action coming from trollers on Lake Koshkonong.
Trollers also report catching fair numbers of undersize walleyes.
Catfish action is picking up with the higher water. Anglers are using a variety of baits to include, chubs and cut bait, nightcrawlers, and stink bait. Catfish have been most active after dark or very early in the morning. Bass fishing has been fairly good on Rock Lake, Lake Ripley, and Blue Spring Lake. Bass anglers using plastic worms and spinner baits are having the best luck.
