LM Bass	Fair-Good	up to 2.0 lbs	Work those shallow areas along the curly leaf pondweed, plastics or spinner bait. Just electrofished this week saw some nice fish look at the new pictures.
Channel Catfish	Fair-Good	up to 5.0 lbs	Fish feeders are in and feeding sinking food at 7:30, 8, noon, 7 and 7:30 pm. We have six feeders going and we'll need more water to get the 7th one going. Shad sides, guts or livers work well this time of year, use the piers on the south side.
Bluegill	Fair-Good	up to 0.3 lbs	Small hunk of worm under a bobber especially on a warm afternoon, look for those open areas in the curly leaf pondweed.
Crappie	Fair	up to .5 lbs	Small tube jigs around those brush piles in 8-10' of water.
Redear Sunfish	Fair-Good	up to 0.5 lbs	Small hunk of worm or small spinner under a bobber in the open areas of pondweed.
Wiper	Slow	up to 4.0 lbs	Shad colored crankbait off of the piers.
Walleye	Fair	Up to 4.0 lbs	Fish the west end with crankbaits along the weed edge.
General Comments
Don't have a father's gift yet? Just take dear old Dad fishing and spend some time with him! Water level has come up a foot or so and the lake looks much better but we still have several feet of water to go. DO NOT TRY AND USE THE NORTH LANE of the ramp, you will lose your boat trailer. Justin filled it in with some rock so when the lake does fill it will be usuable. Stocked 200,000 walleye fry few weeks ago, be a couple years before they are of eating size! May electrofishing pictures, check out these fish! To see the new netting pictures, click on Leavenworth State Fishing Lake.
