Fishing was slow-to-fair trolling crank baits at 20-to-25 feet for walleye. Most of the action was around Horseshoe Bend. Fishing for black bass was slow but there were a few fish taken by anglers working the Ute Creek area. They were using jigs, crank baits, tubes and spinner baits. We had no reports on other species.
