Water temps that dropped into the 50s are now back to the low 60s and fish appreciate that. They are swimming back to shallow water .where they are easier to catch. Smallmouth bass fishing has been downgraded from fantastic to just real good. Ar- eas more distant from access areas are often better than stuctures close to marinas where fishing pressure is more intense. That fishing pressure has reduced numbers and perhaps allowed fish to grow bigger (but also smarter) near marinas. The Bullfrog area has shown definite improvement with stripers hitting very well at the mouth of Halls Creek, midway back in Bullfrog Bay and on the walls near Buoy 102. Stripers in the San Juan are stacked in huge schools in the extreme upper end of the canyon near Donkey Island downstream from Copper Canyon. Fishing for all species is excellent at Hite. The mudline is near Canyon but less than normal runoff has reduced driftwood and allowed more visibility. Fishing pressure is heaviest in White Canyon and North Wash. ile Justin Redd, the spn of David and Jennifer Redd of Monticello, takes a close look at the claws of a bear his father shot in the La Sal Mountains on May 22. The six or seven year old boar was 61 2 feet long and weighed approximately 400 pounds.
