Lake Whinthrop Fishing Report

First Time At Lake Whinthrop

There are no photos, nothing worth bragging about, pretty much a miserable day Very windy and cooler than expected, was supposed to hit 80 didn't make it much past 70. I think the past week having had unstable temperature and all the rain had the fish stacked up suspending in deeper water. We found some of them but they weren't biting anything we were throwing at them. Pretty much everyone we met that day caught about 3 or 4 fish and they were not bragging about them either. Having said that I got a good look at the lake and can see why it is a popular lake. It's a place worth coming back too. Worms, jigs, top-water baits a must here. I have been told 10 inch worms work the best here and will bring some with me next time.
