Fishing Report July 2026

July 4, 2026  -  United States of America's 250th Anniversary

Woman Lake experienced a huge 3-day mayfly hatch at the begining of the week, and the boat traffic is high for the holiday weekend.  As a result, the walleye bite has expectedly diminished.  But the nice northern pike bite remains hot.  Surface water temperatures reached 72 degrees yesterday.  On the bright side, we enjoyed a rare combination of a thunderstorm and a northern lights display last evening, which was beautiful.  I will post a few photos in the Catch Photos section.
