Bass fishing remains a good bet for late summer fishing, although this is generally a slower time of year. With the onset of low flows and high temps, we've entered the post-spawn period which generally means catch rates drop, but fishing remains an option.
Flows have dropped significantly, making it especially challenging for larger crafts. This is the time of year for smaller single or two-person watercraft, and it would be advised to avoid attempting a float with larger crafts such as drift boats or rafts at current flows. Bank fishing will be the best bet, although be sure to check current closures due to several active wildfires in the area.
