Flats moving to Spawn??

I suspect they'll heat up a little here in the next few days and we are going to see some boo boos on those fish.

I will say what I’ve told a few people I’ve fished with lately. 2005 had similar conditions to we have this year. The water levels are close, the temps are close (compared to late June in 2005)

One of the best nights of Flathead fishing I’ve ever had was that year. The night included several fish over 30, a couple over 40 and one over 50.

The date…..

July 9th

Thanks for passing along the information. That gives me hope that we are still a couple of weeks away before a real slowdown. Dang, that means the bass gear will collect dust until mid July?

I was wondering how the weather was affecting them and other animals this year, because I saw a horde of ants this morning because the females were coming out to start new colonies. I don't remember seeing flying ants except in the fall. Thought maybe this weather was making them antsy....so to speak.

I also noticed last night the first adlut mayflys on the water ans as they struggled minnows were tearing them apart

You mean June-flies? I wonder how stag beetles would work for channels. I got enough in the backyard.
