TRAVERSE CITY-LOCAL LAKES FISHING REPORT - JULY 10, 2004
Everything has slowed down a little bit. A lot of small walleyes being taken. The fish seem to be tighter to the weeds - 14 to 19' down in most lakes. Perch are spotty but seem to be the best of the panfish right now. Bluegills were hard to find this year.
Lake Leelanau has been the best for large perch - 12 to 15' near the weeds. Everyone switching to minnows as there are no more wigglers to be had. Lots of undersized walleyes in the weeds. Big fish seem to be sliding deeper.
