NORTHWEST IOWA FISHING REPORTS Arrowhead Lake Water clarity is good. Bluegill - Fair: Cast a small jig fished under a bobber near submerged structure along shore in 5-10 feet of water.

Largemouth Bass - Fair: Cast traditional bass lures near submerged woody structure throughout the lake and along weed lines in the southern part of the lake. Black Hawk Lake Surface water temperatures

Duckweed has taken over in parts of the lake, especially in the boat ramp bay. Bluegill - Slow: The bluegill bite has slowed with the return of warm stagnant weather. Work the brush piles in 6 to 7 feet of water. Largemouth Bass - Slow: Work out in a little deeper water in the flooded timber in the bays. Channel Catfish - Fair: The face of the dam is always good. Also try in the main two bays at the very upper end of the lake around the brush piles and

A lot of the duckweed got washed out of the lake. Bluegill - Fair: Thursday morning (8/7) some of the bluegills were in shallow. Work the brush piles in 6 feet of water. Try worm and bobber or a small jig tipped with live bait jigged vertically. Largemouth Bass - Fair: Toss soft plastics rigged weedless into the flooded timber. See just how far back into the trees you can get your boat. Channel Catfish - Fair: Wor
