Lake Geneva Fishing Report

 

Lake Geneva 6/29/08 through 7/6/08

Fishing is excellent on Lake Geneva. There are literally fish to be caught almost anywhere on the lake, which makes it very nice when the winds are strong because you still have choices. The water temp. has finally warmed up to about 71-72 degrees. With the warmer water, the pleasure boat traffic is increasing.

Smallmouth Bass can be caught in the 20-22 ft. depth range. The best bait has been either drop-shotting small 4 inch worms in green pumpkin color or drifting night-crawlers. Some of the best locations have been by Knollwood or Belvidere Park in Fontana. The warmer weather will continue to make the fish go deeper.

Largemouth Bass are now being caught on the weed flats. Try by Trinke's or in Williams Bay. Most Success is coming by drop-shotting 4 inch worms or drifting night-crawlers. With the warmer temperatures you can once again catch fish on the top water. Chrome/Blue or Chrome/Black Chug Bugs are my favorite choices. There has also been some reports of success while fishing around docks. Most people are casting spider grubs on a jig. A good choice of spider grub is the Arkie Crawlin Grub.

Rock Bass have slowed a little but are still plentiful pretty much any place you fish. They seem to still be in the 6-8 ft. depth range. The best choice of bait remains the night-crawlers.

Yellow Perch have also slowed a bit. Last week I didn’t catch any of the real big ones like I did the prior week. The little ones that I did catch were on pieces of night-crawlers. The best locations are by Coleman's Point or Knollwood.

Lake Trout are still being caught in the main lake basin. Some success is coming on large chrome/blue Rapalas or chrome/black Rapalas fished on a down rigger. The best success has been coming on the suspended fish, 80 ft. down in 110 ft. of water.

Good luck and I hope to see you on the water
