Fly Fishing Report

The fishing is looking up and getting better every day. The fish have moved in shallower,  anywhere from 10-25'. The fish are very spread out, there is not one area on the lake better than others.

     The bite seems to be later in the morning, after 10:00 a.m., which is good because you don't have to get up with the worms. The surface water temperature is around 68°. The algae is really holding off this season so far. 

     They are still taking midges, try different colors and different depths if one combination is not working. It changes at different times during the day and daily . 

     Soon the perch fry will start and shallower fishing will be back again.

Trolling Report

 Hello Crowley Lake Trolling Fans,

 As we gear up for a great 4th of July Holiday the fishing is HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!! Get your rental boat now.

 The most productive fishing seems to be in 20-50 feet of water, from the surface all the way to the bottom. 

Here are some of the top spots that have been producing:

 *McGee Bay

* Sandy Point to The Willows

* Alligator Point

* Hilton Bay big and small

As for what's working best, here are a few recommendations:

Tasmanian Devils: Bleeding Frog, Bloody Ripper, Orange Perch, and Pink Frog patterns are all effective in any size. Try trolling speeds of 2.5-4 mph.

Needle Fish and Thomas Buoyants: Black Dot Frog, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Blue and Silver, Black and Silver), and Perch patterns are working well in all sizes. 

Rapalas: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Black and Silver Countdown models are producing good results. A trolling speed of 3-5 mph with a ripping action appears to be most effective.

All fish species are biting, Cutts, Browns and Rainbows 

Wishing you tight lines, and I hope to see you out on the lake!

Best of luck,

Bait and Spin Report

Hello Crowley lake anglers,

Fishing has been really good still with a variety of fish being caught all around Crowley Lake.
Perch are moving into the shallows and are on the chew.
Fishing light line with chartreuse, white, brown and cream colored grub with a crappie nibble has worked great. Slow retrieve has been best.
McGee bay, Sandy point and Leighton springs are a few hot spots that have produced these tasty perch. 
Trout remain spread out all over the lake.
These fish are pulling hard so make sure you have fresh line on your reels.
I am finding fish anywhere from 20-30 feet of water.
McGee bay, Hilton bay, Alligator point and Sandy point are a few spots I’ve been fishing.
I’m always fishing a Carolina rig, using a 1/4 ounce sinker and a 2 foot florocarbon leader with 4 pound test.
Best baits for trout have been pinched crawlers, night crawlers, gulp eggs and powerbait. A little garlic scent seems to get them interested as well.

Good luck and tight lines!
