Mid Week Fishing Report-April 20th, 2022

Sorry, I completely forgot to post my mid week fishing report. I had it all written and life must have got in the way and I forgot to hit publish.

The fishing has been very little as of late. I’m trying to get out to stay on top of things, but the blizzard slowed me down. The wind and lack of access slowed me up also.

Unfortunately, it slowed the fishing down also. Water temps plummeted about 12 degrees and the water was a tad dirty. Sun comes out the fish will bite a little. Sporadic would be the best way to describe things.

We are in the bullseye of another storm here and this has forced me to cancel my trips through the weekend. Again, I know the short term loss is hopefully a long term gain. We will have to wait and see.

I’m still getting on the water daily, even if it’s for only an hour or two. So I will have a full fishing report this Sunday like always.
