June 9Th Report

[Stoneroller]

Coffeen is at full pool!!! Last year in the fall it was around 5 feet low and it's now full. Illinois isn't going through the lack fo rain that we currently are.

Water temps were 88º- 91ºF 5 feet of visibility

Fish were all hugging the bottom, typically 10 feet or deeper. I caught 3 fish in 6 hrs of fishing. 2 on deep cranks and 1 on a spinnerbait near some shallow wood. I did see a guy sitting on a point throwing what looked like a french fry worm on a carolina rig and he was hooking up almost every cast.

If I were going to go again, I put in at the north pool and skip the main lake as the water temps are just too high already. Remember, it's a power plant lake and there is not stratification. It's 90º from top to bottom.
