Looking for reports and whether to fish above or below. Thanks! Bad day of fishing still beats a good day @ work!

Hearing alot of small fish by chamberlain but numbers are better for younger fisherman. South if you want bigger fish. Platte area and Pickstown. 100 plus fish is still possible north of Chamberlain to the dam if you are wanting action.

Fishing has slowed somewhat. A lot of fish still being caught above, I never fish below but you can catch a lot of smaller fish there also.

Depending on wind and weather, 10 to 25 fow, bouncers and crawlers. Some bigger fish being caught early in less than 10 fow.

Fished Crow Creek area late Thursday afternoon. Started fishing just before 4:00. Probably caught 35-40 walleyes with only 5 keepers. 18.5" was the biggest. Majority caught on crawlers, but 4 of the 5 keepers were caught on minnows, so have a scoop or two of them along too!!

Wanted to fish same area Friday morning, but the wind kept us around town. Fishing wasn't too good there.

We were at Pickstown Friday evening. It was slow for us, lots of bites but so many tiny walleyes and perch. We were pulling spinners and crawlers. When we found some fish they bit readily. We went to Pease creek Saturday and did OK. Once the wind picked up we caught quite a few, but while it was calm, zilch. It was our first time at either place so doing poorly was not surprising. One thing that didnt help was dodging Tstorms Saturday.

fishing remains great on case still.

off the water by 10 on saturday and by 9 on sunday

ate fish sunday night and picked up the remaining 3 fish we needed to fill our two day limit by 730 this morning (monday)

a lot of smaller, aggressive fish out there. when you pull them out of the water and they are bleeding, stick them in your box! it makes no difference if you cut the hook or not, that fish is going to die. you can see a few of the fish that did manage to swallow the hook, are stiff as a board in the pictures

Fished Crow creek area over the 4th. 75-100 fish but all pretty small. Put some small fish in the box that were gut hooked. Size limit now off. We caught fish from 4 to 20 FOW. Fish were not fat but not in terrible shape either. Slow deaths worked better into the current and spinners were better with. Couldnt slow down enough into the current to slow the spinner down. They liked it pretty slow that day. Not many boats there either. Biggest fish 17 inches. Used leaches, crawlers and gulp.Leaches and crawlers produced but Gulp did not.

Good fishing.
