The bite on Lake Pueblo is slowing down, but with a little patience and skill the angler can be well rewarded with some quality fish! Now that the heat of summer has come the walleye fishing has become more finicky in large part due to the shad schools blossoming. With the huge schools of shad now in Lake Pueblo the walleye can gorge whenever they want so the eager bite we saw just a few weeks ago has slowed down. Using your graph to locate the schools of shad along with the suspending walleye following the schools is a huge plus right now. The shad schools are constantly moving and the anglers that are boating most consistently are finding the active walleye adjacent to the shad schools. So spending some time running areas looking at the graph before you wet the lines can save a lot of time looking for active fish. Some shad schools don’t have fish feeding on them so move on until you see the shad schools with arches going through the schools and usually underneath. This is a good indication that you’re seeing active feeding fish, so time to wet the lines. It hasn’t been a fast and furious bite, so don’t be scared to spend your time grinding on fish that you see on your graph. A variety of presentations have been working, depending on that school of walleye and every schools seems to be a little different. Presentations that have been taking fish are slow live-bait presentations with leaches and worms, or active presentations trolling and casting crankbaits and stickbaits.
