River Rock reports: The water temps are a little warmer than usual for this time of year but the temp is dropping. The fishing seems to be on the same track as last week. There have been some Salmon and Browns being caught near the Islands and they have been a really nice size. The water temps should be dropping fast at this time of year. Walleye has been good in the Bay this year, using Stick Baits such as Rapalas or Bombers or Crawler Harnesses.
Fishing the Inland Lakes has been great as the weeds die down and the water cools down. Muskies are starting to hit using Sucker Bait on the Inland Lakes.
