        The big crappies are biting! Find a section of river channel with wood nearby and they should come rolling through. We found fish in 14-16 feet and when they would come through they were very agressive and took no hesitation to get to bite.

        Fished below dam at the Rainbow Flowage, on the Wisconsin River. First 1/2 mile or so downstream, current was fast, only fish were in the the rocks, behind large boulders, not a surface bite today. Silver Chatterbait with a 5 inch pumpkin worm trailer

        Fished Wisconsin River going into Rainbow Flowage. Air temp 77 F, water temp 73, full sun, fished 1:30 pm. to 4:30 p.m. about two miles of river. Water extremely low, very few deep holes. Buzzbait was only bait I could fish effectively over shallow weeds in river. Black was successful, but only 5 fish, 4 smallmouth, 1 northern. Nothing of size. Fish were in breaks of current behind rocks, very dark colored bass. I am thinking most of fish have moved into the flowage due to low water.

        Fished wisconsin river above Rainbow Flowage. Crayfish colored tubes on 1/4 oz jigs fished in deep holes worked best. Black spinnerbaits ripped thru rapids worked too.
