MAY 2026
Monday, May 25 - It's Memorial Day and it looks like the weather is getting better every day. We did have a lot of rain and wind this weekend . It proved to change things up a bit most everywhere.
Fishing is still real good, but it did shake things up a little. Kings, lakers and cohos are what is biting the most right now. Brighter colors, plenty of glow are the ticket.
There are quite a few people hitting the streams today so we should know more in a day or two on the hot spots. Burt Dam has really high water and muddy. Guys said it like a rapids down there currently.
Lake fishing seemed to move more west after the weekend. Have a great time in whatever you are doing this holiday.
TIP: If you are planning on visiting the area this year, BOOK EARLY! There is a new AI plant being built in Somerset and the workers need housing. Shop around and you will find something.
