Caught yesterday on the spoon. 
The lake level is 558.74 and has dropped 3-1/2 inches in the last 24-hours with 1-1/3 generators running continuously. They took the White River at Newport down to 8-ft. to try and keep the area lakes up as high as possible for as long as possible but are bringing it back up now. It clouds up at the heat of the day about 3:PM everyday but not much happens. We are still very dry here. It looks to be mostly sunny and warm for the rest of the week and good weather for the holiday weekend. Blackburns is full then but have openings for just after that when the prices drop to $59/day for a one bedroom cabin. The lake traffic will slow way down then and fishing will get better and the peace and quiet will get a lot better. This is an excellent time for a visit and the lake is in good condition. Get out that 3/8th ounce spoon, white with red head, and drop it in and around brush piles in 30-35 ft. of water. Several different species of fish are there and are being caught everyday. I am too busy to get in much fishing, as I am sure most resort owners are, but get out for about an hour after the work is done and spoon for a bit and am catching fish everyday. Mostly walleye, crappie, bass and bluegill with a few catfish thrown in. That is all I fish for anyway. Most all fish are released under my dock and the school is getting very big. I guess if I had more time for fishing I would not be doing my job very well. My time will come this fall and winter. In the mean time I have several good fishermen reporting to me everyday. I know you do not want just my picture on there all the time but I do not take selfies anyway. I am ready for fall fishing. I do not look for a striper kill this September and sure hope there is not one. Come on down. We will not charge you too much.
