Beaver Lake: Jon Conklin, fishing guide, said the water temperature is dropping into the mid-50s and that generally gets fall fishing going at the reservoir. Striped bass are scattered in the middle section of the lake, he said. Trollng with brood minnows or shad is the best way to catch them. Jigging spoons worked around shad schools in open water may also work.
At Beaver Lake, Jon Conklin, fishing guide, reports fair fishing for striped bass with brood minnows. Stripers are beginning to migrate upstream away from Beaver Dam.
Fishing is hit and miss for walleye and striped bass. Jon Conklin, fishing guide, recommends fishing for stripers on the north half of the lake, from Prairie Creek park to Beaver Dam. Locate shad with a depth finder then fish with shad or brood minnows close to the shad. Stripers should be nearby.
