Lake Geneva Fishing Report 6/19/17 through 6/25/19
Lake Geneva has been improving with the warm weather. The largemouth bass and rock bass are the best fishing opportunities currently.
Largemouth bass fishing has been excellent. The best location has been by Trinkes or by Covenant Harbor Bible Camp. The best presentation has been drop shotting 4 inch finesse worms in green pumpkin or root beer color. The best depth has been 12-14 ft of water.
Rock bass continue to be the most actively biting fish on the lake. They are being found throughout the whole lake with the best depth being in 12 ft of water. They can be caught on small white hair jigs or split shot rigged nightcrawlers. The biggest concentration has been by Belvidere Park.
Smallmouth bass fishing has slowed with the warmer water temperature. The fish have no become scattered. The best depth has been 15-17 ft of water. Look for the fish by Elgin Club or by the 700 club. The best approach is a football head jig with a root beer trailer and slowing dragging it on bottom to imitate crayfish.
Walleye action has been very good at night. The best success is trolling crank baits by Trinkes or the east shore of Willliams Bay. The best depth has been 12-15 ft of water. Fish are being caught on large Rapalas.
Bluegill fishing has been excellent in 15-17 ft of water just on the outside of the weed edge. They can be caught on split shot rigged leaf worms. I’ve been catching the most by Knollwood or Gage marine.
Northern pike action is still slow. With the warming weather the thermocline bite will start in the next few weeks. July 4th is typically the start of northern pike fishing. If the weather holds that should be the case this year as well.
Good luck and I hope to see you on the water. For guide parties, please call Dave Duwe at 262-728-8063
