The heat is here and fishing has really picked up at Rye Patch. The abundant water over the last two years has helped significantly improve the overall health of this fishery. The walleye, crappie, white bass, and smallmouth fishing has been good on bright rooster tails and jigs. The catfish fishing has also started to pickup and should continue to improve. Crawlers on the bottom is an excellent way to pickup a multitude of species at Rye Patch.
