WEEKLY FISHING REPORT

Live Minnows $2.59 DOZEN
ANCHOVIES $2.79 lb.

LAKE PLEASANT – Water elevation is 1,694 ft, which is 91 percent full. Water temperature is around 63 F and clarity is getting better in Castle Creek. Clarity of the western coves was about 13 feet, but the water temps were still chilly, just shy of 62 F. Fishermen are saying no fish there in the shallows yet. Carp are in the northern coves; throw some corn out if you just want to have a big fish on the line. Kids might like to wrestle one of those bad boys.

Anglers are catching both largemouth and a few crappies in shallow water at Castle Creek. Crayfish imitations are working well, such as Yabbie’s and Salt River Craw Robo Worms. An angler found water temps in one of the northern coves at 65 F and he caught more than 19 fish in two hours.

The bass fishing Web sites are reporting a (very) few smallmouth being caught at Lake Pleasant. Many of the fishermen are real happy about this. A Game and Fish official did verify one of them.

Bass are biting dark colored Senkos when pitched into the submerged trees. Drop shots are working for anglers in about 20-25 feet of water. At the CAST for Kids event two weeks ago bass were hitting drifting minnows pretty well.
Day time fishermen aren’t having a whole lot of luck striper fishing but stripers are hitting drifting anchovies at night on the south end of the lake at 40-60 feet of water near the intakes. The tires are another good spot that provide cover for the fish. Anglers caught four stripers at the tires in addition to the four larger stripers caught near the intakes.
