Hot, muggy day but the fish were still biting. Deep in the weeds and edges of weed beds. Bite was quite aggressive despite the heat!

Weedy, but holds good bass, crappies and walleye

Verona Lake has about 14" of ice and is producing 4 to 5 lb pike like crazy. Fishing on this lake is always productive in the 12 to 15 ft depth range.

My son and my friend and I fished Verona this afternoon. It was 30*C and water temp was 76*F. We caught over 50 fish including some good sized pike, bass and crappies. Fish were on the bottom but biting!

August 13, 2011 - My son and I were on the lake today, Water temperature 74.5*C. We caught 6 bass weighing over 3lbs each and assorted other ones of varying sizes. Fish were quite aggressive and in less than 15 feet of water.

July 23, 2011 - Verona Lake has been quite warm right now. Surface water temperature is around 84*F. Fish are holding on the bottom but they are still biting. Best fishing is in the morning before 11 and in the afternoon after 4.

Weekend of June 18/19 was great for fishing on Verona Lake. Water levels are extremely high for this time of year and it is having an impact on vegetation growth There are a lot of algae blooms right now but fish are using it for cover. Bass season opens next weekend and if the collateral catches this weekend are any indication both large and smallmouth bass season will be fantastic on this lake.
