Fishing Report - Poor to Fair: Jim at Ken's Sporting Goods in Bridgeport https://kenssport.com reports " temperatures have been staying in the 60’s so keep an eye on it and remember, the cooler the night the farther down you want to go.

Temperatures are staying in the 60’s until mid afternoon so the mornings are safe. If species don’t matter as much as a good fight try Perch patterns dead drifted up towards the dam, the big Carp are voracious!

Not sure how to start so here I go. The big one is water temp AND a thermometer always carry one here! 1) old wives tale: stay up by the dam, the water is colder. Especially as the lake drops the water coming out of the dam will be 70+ 24 hours a day, BUT if nighttime temperatures get down to 40-50 the water will cool down as it flows downstream. Having said that, check temps constantly, especially down below the bridge. I’ve seen temps go from mid 60’s to low 70’s in less than an hour

NEARBY LAKES

​

VIRGINIA LAKES (8/13/26) Open for the season

Fishing - Good: It sounds like the Virginias are still producing very well from the shore as well as from tubes. Shore anglers are doing well with pinched crawlers, inflated crawlers, mice tails and power bait, early and lat in the day when the sun is off the water you could also throw some Kastmasters and Thomas Bouyants. Fly anglers are doing the best with intermediate sink lines with small leech patterns and soft hackles. .
