Fishing report for the week of 08/03/2026

Walleye fishing has slowed down a bit on the south end but is really picking up mid reservoir. The Silos to Ponds 3 and 4 for the south end with Beaver Creek Bay, Snaggy Bay and both shorelines up to Gull Island for the mid reservoir while using bottom bouncers with slow-death rigs or worm harnesses in perch, purple or pink spinner blade colors in 20 to 30 feet of water. Various colored jigs and crankbaits have been working as well. The north end is producing walleyes in Hellgate Bay and off of points in the main reservoir. There are reports of some really nice perch being caught by anglers using walleye rigs in these same areas. Rainbow fishing has slowed up some as the fish are moving to deeper water. Some anglers are finding rainbows while fishing with walleye gear, lures or cowbells in the traditional walleye spots as well as the north end of the reservoir while trolling cowbells or deep diving rapalas. Shore fishing is slow.
