Whites are in Swan

[Phil Lilley]

Swan is clear and running pretty good. Lots of whites moving in and out. Historically, whites will move into Swan at night to spawn because of the clear water. During the day it's tough catching them because of the crowds and clear water.

MDC agents were busy over the weekend nabbing people who were grabbing whites instead of hooking them fair. I'm sure after 2-3 years of no whites, and now the whites are biting, local just wanted some fresh meat for the dinner table.

Do what us trout guys do when the fishing gets tough- go small and lite. And fish at night.

Waded the mouth of Swan last night with limited luck but had a lot of fun. Two of us started the night off with a real nice fish--my buddy caught a 5 pound carp that we were hoping was a nice walleye but no such luck. We ended the night with 7 nice male whites. One gentleman next to us caught an 18 in walleye and a few whites but that is all we saw caught. Slow night on the numbers but a wonderful night to be out.

Hey, Fishin Freak enjoyed meeting you last night. Fishin was slow, but anytime fishing is a good time.

Hope to get the kids on them if and when they start running good.

Nice meeting you as well. Maybe we can hook up sometime for another trip. Are you heading down anytime soon? I will down sometime over the weekend.

All my plans are on hold until after the weekend. Taking kids turkey hunting on Saturday. I think fishing will depend alot right now on todays weather.
