As the lake continues to come down and water temperatures rise due to the summer heat the fish have gone into their summer patterns. With this Louieโ€™s Lures Guide Service has been right with them. We never left the lake for greener pastures during the flooding and by doing that weโ€™re having a great time putting our customers on the bigger fish. June and July have always been our big fish mouths we lost part of June due to water levels but itโ€™s right where it needs to be now come join the action. While itโ€™s still nice and before it gets to hot.

It has been awhile since I have put a report out. We have been so busy fishing have not really taken the time but I will try and get better at it.

Now that the water levels are coming down the fishing is indeed getting better and we know where they are. Here are some pictures of out last trips.
