Fishing Report 7-15-11

Hot weather is in store for the weekend. The rivers are low and water temps are getting up in the 70+ range. Best bets are to seek out fast pocket water and feeder streams for brook trout. Fishing is best early AM. Small tan or olive caddis, lt cahills and terrestrials are good fly choices. Use light fluorocarbon leaders for spooky fish. Nightcrawlers and mealworms have been working well for bait.

Bass fishing on Champlain is good all over. Fish are now concentrated on the deep weedbeds and offshore reefs. The big Smallmouth bass are on the reefs and rock piles in 20-30' of water.

Salmon are being caught in 40' + of water and some nice specimens have been reported this week. Stingers, Speedy shiners continue to be hot lures. Lake trout are now close to or on the bottom.
