Bass fishing heats up in summer, but extra effort is required by tournament anglers to maintain the health of their catch this time of year. Dissolved oxygen is the single most important factor for keeping bass alive, and an understanding of factors that affect oxygen levels will better enable anglers to keep their fish alive.

AUSTIN – The Llano River in Texas has been named one of 10 “Waters to Watch” for 2011 in the National Fish Habitat Action Plan. The watch list doesn’t necessarily indicate waters in trouble, but points to those that will benefit from strategic conservation efforts to protect, restore or enhance them, thus providing models for good work elsewhere.

Going into May the lake is about 8ft below high pool and it looks like unless we have a real gully washer it will continue to drop. In the summer we can lose a half- inch or more a day through evaporation plus the amount of water that is released at the dam. No telling how low the lake may get.

As the new owners and operators of Crazy Bear Lodge we would like to offer you our warmest greetings. After enduring a devastating fire that nearly swallowed the lodge whole, Crazy Bear is stronger than ever. We were very fortunate to escape without any damage, mostly in part to the fact the fire fighters were using the lodge as there home base to fight the enormous fire. This allowed the crews to fend of the fire from our infamous rock and save Crazy Bear for the next generation of fisherman. We allowed a couple years for the trees to recover and for the new growth to appear. The recovery has been incredible and therefore we are taking select groups for the 2011 summer season. Dedicated to the outdoors our team own 2 other fishing lodges in BC. In the fall you will find us on the banks of the Bulkley River battling wild steelhead (you can learn more about this operation here). The rest of the year we are attacking salmon and steelhead in the remote waters of the Queen Charlotte Islands (for more in click here)

Fishing has been good at both Lake Fork and Lake Monticello the past couple of weeks. With the weather and water cooling off, I have been splitting trips between the two lakes. The action on Monticello has been best early on most days with Fork being the afternoon option of choice. Fish can still be caught early on Fork but the bite has been best for me when water temperatures are at their peak later in the day.
