With a variety of species such as largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish on the bite, now is the time to grab your gear! The week will start with some rain and thunderstorms, leading to cooler conditions, but by midweek, the sun will shine and the waters will calm. Fish will be actively feeding, especially during prime times in the early morning and late evening. Prepare your tackle and get ready for a great week of fishing!
