sws210, the lake is a bit above pool right now, so all the river structure is under water. I think if you find the spots where the channel is choked down to a narrower width you could do okay. Otherwise the usual advice applies: keep moving until you find something biting.

Fished from 11:30 this morning until 2 before I had to head back. Didn't even get a nibble, and the six or seven other fishermen I talked to today had the same story. The general consensus seems to be that the fish haven't quite woken up after this last cold snap, but it should happen any day now.
Good luck if you're going, and please let the rest of us know how it went.

Thanks for the report. Did you head upstream or fish there below the parking lot?

Did you head upstream or fish there below the parking lot? Tried to fish upstream but there was too much silt on the bottom of the river. I'm a little over 6 feet tall and sank almost to the top of my chest waders, so I fished below the parking lot where the footing was a little more stable.

My neighbor went to Reimers again today and caught 60 fish In about 3 hours. He said they are big ones. 14-17 inches. About half were females. Hes catching them upstream from the kayak launch.
My wife has been sick and I havent made there yet. Im hoping she gets well enough soon so we can get out there. I feel a sick day coming on. Cough cough...
If you get out there, I wish you luck. Leave me some!
Tight lines!
Shut up and fish!

Thinking about heading out there this evening. Good luck! My wife is out of action but I might get to go. Maybe Sunday. FYI-Neighbor told minnows are more productive. Not much being caught on artificial. He says the water is too clear. Tight lines!
Shut up and fish!

Went out there for a few hours after work today. Ended up catching two whites, a black bass, and a guad. Didn't have waders or live bait, just throwing everything in the tackle box at them. Waders might have helped a little, but the water is a bit too high for my liking. There was an area with pretty good current flow just above the kayak launch. That is where I caught the two whites. Saw one guy with a stringer of four. Most reported pretty slow fishing. Oh and if you plan on going out there be sure to bring cash, as I learned the hard way they don't take debit or credit cards.

My buddy and I went fishing yesterday. We took a two-seat bass buggy and trolling motor. I stopped by Cabellas and bought some minnows. We arrived at Reimers about 11 AM. After launching our boat we went upstream towards the falls. We saw many kayaks and several boats headed upstream.
We made it about 1/2 way to our destination before our battery began to fail. So we anchored, fished, and moved, then repeated. Allowing the battery to rest and regain power, we were able to move the boat in short bursts. We would move further upstream in short bursts of battery power. We went as far as we could go but never made it where the fish were. (Neighbors honey holes).
Around 1pm Some kayakers began going back down stream. They told us there were two John boats that were catching a lot and had limits. We saw several kayakers that had nice stringers. We didnt make it upstream where the johnboats were. But we finally found an OK spot. I caught 14, my buddy caught 10. The water was so clear, When we would catch a fish, you could see two or three more fish following it. Occasionally we would also see the fish doing the Spawn dance. My buddy and I caught several large males and females.
Around 3pm, after we stopped catching fish, our battery died. Luckily, the wind was blowing down stream. We paddled most of the way back to the launch. Lots of work for the few fish we caught. I can only imagine if we would have made it all the way to our intended spots. (Where my neighbor has been slaying them). Oh well... all-in-all - it was a beautiful day.
Tight lines!
Shut up and fish!

My buddy and I are headed back to Reimers today. Right now I am waiting outside of Cabellas to buy minnows. Im hoping to catch a lot of fish today. My neighbor shared his honey hole location with me. He texted me a picture of it so I would find it. How awesome is that! I cant hardly wait to get up there today. I will report how we do.
Tight lines!
Shut up and fish!

Well... didnt have the luck on Thursday. One thing or another went wrong. I didnt see the other boaters/ fishermen catch their limits; but they had good stringers. We had a good time anyway. I caught 4, but lost about 10. My buddy also caught 4. I was just one of those days.
My neighbor went out Friday. He was ready to slay them. He told me he caught 8 dozen river minnows to take with him. Ill let yall know. If he didnt catch, It may be close to the end out there. If he only catches 10-12, I wont go back until next year. On the other hand, if he does well, I may try one more time next week.
Tight lines!
Shut up and fish!
