Thompson Fishing Guide Service Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 April 8, 2011 Stockton Lake Fishing Report Lake level: 868.59 Normal pool: 867 Water temp: 52 degrees Due to the spring weather, one day the fishing’s good, and the next day it’s not. A cold front like we had the other day can really make the fish turn off. We had a great day up by the dam walleye fishing (see attached photo), and are looking forward to another good one today. Crappie are being caught up Turnback, but as far as the main lake goes, it’s still a little cool. The high winds we have had lately have made for some interesting days on the water. I called my clients for Tuesday twice and suggested that they consider swapping for the next day because I knew the fishing was going to be tough, and I wanted them to catch fish, but they wanted to go anyway. So we fished in 35+ mph wind right after the temperature dropped 40 degrees overnight. Guide’s tip: If your fishing guide tells you that fishing won’t be good after a major cold front combined with gale force winds, and you choose to go anyway, don’t whine if you don’t catch fish.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 8, 2011 Root Admin Posted April 8, 2011 Nice to see you back on the forum, Marty.
Thompson Fishing Guide Service Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks, Phil. Last year was a little tough with Lisa's Mom in Colorado having pancreatic cancer and me trying to be all things to all people, but we live to fight another day. As you know, this is our 9th season here, and I am grateful you and I hooked up those many years ago. Still haven't raised our prices in 5 years and don't plan to, even with the gas getting so high. Thanks for your message. Marty Thompson Thompson Fishing Guide Service www.fishstockton.com 417-424-BASS Often imitated, never duplicated. Fish the Finest!

SmallyWally Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 It's nice to see some photos of those Walleye. Really gives me the "good" shakes. Haven't heard much noise on biting Walleye, so thanks for the pics and the info. Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.-- Mark Twain
