Temps And Clarity

[Allen R.]

Does anyone know what the water temps and clarity are, I'm visiting home for the holidays and thought about visiting Pomme. Anyone been bass fishing lately?

Water was anywhere from 54-56 main lake and 48 up the river arms. Water isn't exactly dirty just coffee lookin. Visibility was about 1'. Went today for bass

How was fishing? what are they hitting?

Stayed around the dam mostly and fishing was tough. Threw a megabass jerkbait early and when the wind picked up an the sun came out switched to a wiggle wart and spinnerbait on chunk rock banks with wind or gravel. Not a lot of fish but decent size. Best 5 around 14. Did catch 1 good musky and 2 walleye about 20" on the megabass. Walleye found the grease. Attached the pic of the best fish that ate a pb & j wart.

Went today from about 8 to 2:30. Spent the whole time in the mid to lower Pomme. Started pretty slow caught a few random fish - small Pomme keepers early. Also caught one big Muskie. As the wind picked up, so did the bite. Caught our best fish on the main lake, in the wind. Probably caught almost 20 bass, most smaller Pomme keepers. Did get in one stretch of bank where we caught 3 between 3 and 4 pounds. Ended up with almost 15 lbs on our 5 best. Most of the fish came on a wiggle wart or spinnerbait - caught a few on a jerkbait. Water temps were in the low 50's, had at least 3' of visibility around the darn. Was cloudy and windy all morning - sun poked out a little later. Our bite died off about noon. Good day to be on the water though (lots of others thought so to - lots of boats out).
