Holy Tyee!

First, I'll admit I sucked at keeping up with the camera this past week.  Sometimes the urge to get an item back in the water is just too damn strong and I pass up the photo-op.  My apologies!

But, on a positive note, holy big kings!  Hold on tight, they've been awful mean lately.

Earlier in the week, our successes have come from 150 - 300 feet of water.  The thermocline was hovering around 75-85 feet below the surface, which has reached 72 degrees.  Say hello to the fleas!  Be vigilant in checking your wire divers and lighter line rods every 15-20 minutes or you will regret it, I promise!

The morning bite has been vicious, I've relied on your basic white glow and green glow Michigan Stinger pro-chips with A-TOM-MIK Glow Hammers and Green Crinkle Glow flies behind them.  

As the day progresses and light levels heighten, I've gone to running chrome attractors such as the Pig Pen with a Hammer or Big Fin fly behind it.  I also keep a high rod in the warmer water with a spoon.  Stingray Mongoose or Tuxedo is always a favorite.

Currently there is more transition occuring.  Oswego is enduring the aftermath of a heavy Northeast wind, which means an influx of cold water.  As with all things in nature, this will balance out eventually, but in the meantime fishing can be tricky.  With a thermocline so close to the surface the morning bite becomes even more important.  Remember, where there is a will, there is a way!

Lastly, the Dixie Dandy is coming in to a very busy August.  We still have a couple morning dates available and some afternoons.  Give us a shout and as I always say, don't read a report, make one!

See ya out there.
