What a difference a week can make. I said that last week but this time the rains have brought levels up to light flooding in the Fargo area and just a lot of logs and wood in Grand Forks. The water is muddy and 59 degrees right now. The bite has not slowed all that much but the way we fish has changed. The way to pick spots right now has been to find shelves and drop offs where the current is NOT pushing wood and debris. The fish are avoiding the junk too. The river has crested and will begin falling later this week so things will clear up and we can move around more by the weekend.
The prespawn is still going strong. Both suckers and goldeyes are working well for bait but with the muddy water goldeyes are harder to come by. Sit times are still about 20-25 minutes. I have been sitting an honest 30 with the occasional big fish coming about that time.
The weather looks nice the next week or so and the fish are still going. As the water temps creep back up the spawn is just two or three weeks away.
