Walleye, Rainbows, Bass and Panfish on our Multi-Species trip today!

Beaver Tailwaters & Beaver Lake Fishing Report Fishing across the Beaver Tailwaters and Beaver Lake continues to provide opportunities for anglers targeting a variety of species. While some patterns are changing as we move through the summer, there are still plenty of fish to be caught if you're willing to adjust your approach. Beaver Tailwaters Trout fishing has improved slightly over the past week, although overall numbers remain lower than normal. Anglers are finding success drifting Pautzke Fire Bait, Fire Worms, and nightcrawlers under a float during lower water conditions. Small spoons, inline spinners, and marabou jigs are also producing fish, especially during slower generation periods. The bite has been most consistent during lower, stable flows. Walleye continue to be caught throughout the tailwaters. Jigging soft plastics along current seams and rocky structure or trolling crankbaits during periods of generation has been the most productive pattern. Focus on deeper runs and current breaks where fish are holding. The Corps of Engineers has been generating water primarily during the mid-afternoon, so anglers should monitor the generation schedule before heading out. Water levels can change quickly, affecting both fish location and wading conditions. Spotted bass and bluegill continue to provide steady action between Beaver Town and Holiday Island. Medium-diving crankbaits are producing spotted bass around rock banks and current breaks, while bluegill are being caught on Carolina rigs tipped with nightcrawlers in slower pools and deeper water. We're hopeful trout numbers continue improving as we move toward the cooler months, when fishing typically becomes more consistent. Beaver Lake Beaver Lake continues to produce a solid mixed-species bite. Walleye are still being caught consistently, but locating schools of baitfish has been the key to finding active fish. Once bait is located, walleye are usually nearby. Trolling crawler harnesses and crankbaits or vertically presenting soft plastics around structure has been producing fish. The black bass bite remains strong, with smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass all providing good action. Rocky points, bluff ends, brush piles, and main lake structure continue to hold fish, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. Crankbaits, soft plastics, jigs, and topwater lures are all producing depending on conditions. Crappie fishing has been good during the morning hours while trolling, but as the sun gets higher, anglers are finding the best success by moving to brush piles and fishing them thoroughly. Slow presentations with jigs or live minnows around cover continue to produce quality fish. As always, weather conditions, wind direction, water movement, and baitfish activity can change the bite from day to day. Staying mobile and adjusting your presentation to current conditions will greatly increase your success. Whether you're fishing the cool waters below Beaver Dam or exploring the open waters of Beaver Lake, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a productive day on the water.
