August 28, 30, 31 & September 1, 2
I guided on Red Willow with clients and we caught 17 Master Angler fish, including 14 wipers (24" to 30.5") and 3 largemouth bass (23", 21", and 20"). The wipers were caught on live gizzard shad and the largemouth bass were caught on crankbaits. We're also catching good numbers of white bass, small wipers, and largemouth bass on crankbaits around main lakes points and flats next to deep water. The Master Angler wipers are still be caught around the end of main lake points and underwater humps in deeper water (20 to 25').The surface water temperature is in the low 70s

August 20, 22-25
I guided on Red Willow with clients and we caught 25 Master Angler fish, including 23 wipers (24" to 29.5") and 2 channel catfish (31" and 32"). All were caught on live gizzard shad. We're still fishing the same patterns as last week and we're also catching goods numbers of 18" to 23" wipers in the same locations. My clients and I are still catching largemouth bass, white bass, and small wipers on topwater plugs and small crankbaits around main lake points in shallow water. The surface water temperature is in the mid 70s.

August 13-17
I guided on Red Willow Lake with clients and we caught 35 Master Angler wipers (24" to 29"), and they all were caught on live gizzard shad around the end of main lake points and underwater humps next to deep water (30' or less of water). We're also catching good numbers of channel catfish in the same locations as the bigger wipers. We're still catching good numbers of largemouth bass, small wipers, and white bass on topwater plugs and small crankbaits around main lake points in shallower water next to shore. The surface water temperature is in the mid 70s, and the water level has stopped dropping. August 15 was the day they shut off the water for the irrigation season.

I guided on Red Willow Lake with clients and we caught 40 Master Angler fish including 31 wipers (24" to 32"), 8 largemouth bass (20.5" to 23"), and 1 channel catfish (30"). All were caught on live gizzard shad, except 7 largemouth bass caught on topwater plugs. We're still catching wipers and catfish around the main lake points and underwater humps next to deep water (32' or less of water), and we're also catching good numbers of largemouth bass, small wipers, and white bass on topwater plugs and small crankbaits around main lake points near deep water. The surface water temperature is in the upper 70s.
