Heat keeping a lot of folks away from the water, but those who get out have been finding some nice fish. Pulling a variation of plugs and bottom bouncers is working for walleyes.

Walleyes have become tougher to catch with water temperatures now approaching bathtub-like temperatures and putting a few in the boat involves more work.

With the water temperatures soaring, the fish are biting, walleyes in particular. Here’s what they’re catching them on …

The fishing is good on Stony Creek Lake. Plenty of nice bass to go around.

Water temps remain in the mid-70s, and the bite for most species is fair to good.

There likely is not a bad place to be fishing anywhere in New York right now.

Fishing continues to be good, especially on Lake Michigan.

The walleye bite continues to be pretty good, despite some bug hatches starting to occur on some larger lakes, and shorter periods of aggressive feeding activity.

Check out these eater-sized walleyes – and here’s what’s working to land these nice fish.
