Weather
Labor Day weekend. Dove season opened this past week; a few people did well, but it was dry, hot and dusty walking the cornfields. There may be 7 to 10 more days of this heat wave (the "ring of fire") before relief. Even so, ponds and creeks still hold water and Grand Lake is holding its level remarkably well compared to other Midwest lakes losing water to evaporation.
Hunting
Oklahoma archery season opens October 1. Fixpandable broadheads are now on Amazon (search Fixpandable).
Safety
Big holiday weekends bring a lot of inexperienced lake-goers. Be safe, give them some courtesy and slack, and help them out if you can.
White Bass
In the evenings, troll Dinner Spinners and swimming minnows, a fun way to get kids and everyone involved. On windy points in the middle of the day, get down there with a jigging spoon or run a swimming minnow on a 1/4-ounce Tie2 jig (or a 1/4-ounce jig head) across the bottom.
Haydn's report
Fishing is about like last week. Haydn is still catching plenty of fish: some Crappie on brush piles and some in shaded areas of docks.
Paddlefish
Same pattern. Anglers concentrating on them are getting them in the upper end of the lake; the Horse Creek and Honey Creek arms seem best.
Bass
Not much reported, but Doug posts nice Bass pictures every week from the weekly local jackpot tournament he runs at Serenity Point.
Bottom line
Expect one of the biggest Labor Day weekends in a long time, with a lot of people watching OSU and OU games at the lake. Fall is just around the corner.
