Let’s start with this. I tore up my lower unit last week, North of Grand Forks. It is incredibly low below the dams in the Grand Forks area and south. BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU TAKE BOATS TO THOSE AREAS.
Fishing is pretty good. It is much better than it was late last week with better numbers. There is very little current so they can be anywhere and are harder to pattern. I have been finding them in deeper holes and more to the middle of the hole. I have also noticed that they are on the OFF current side in many cases which makes no sense with no current, but they are there.
Bigger fish continue to come after a longer sit. Big fish are being caught after 20 minutes of sitting on a spot. Like last week, continue to give spots a solid amount of time 25-35 minutes to make sure you are not leaving fish to find fish. I know it hurts but it has produced more bigger sized fish.
I have been doing best with four-to-five-day dead bait but have a feeling they are moving back to frozen as the water temperature is back into the mid to high 80s. I have also caught fish on goldeye. Frogs still seem to be elusive as expected with as dry as it is.
Hot weather remains so be safe and drink lots of water. It’s hot on the river right now.
