Early in the morning or late at night in shallower water you can still get them. Water is to warm & bright so the fish are down deep the rest of the time. If your trowling go deep and you'll still get strikes.

I went fishing at a local lake last week and caught an 18 inch rainbow...

Cooked him for dinner and starting to taste muddy....

As above, go deep during the heat or shallows when cooler...

Try Johnson lake this time of year,but like said,fish in the early am or later pm(unless you are out until dark,than you see the fish coming up on the shoals)and fish deep....

Fish are still hungry, just not where you find them in May. Try deep water usually in mid lake should have some sucess. I fished one of my favourite lakes last Friday took 4 between 2 to 3 pounds. I find best fishing to be between 7:00 and 11:00 AM forget evening unless you see a lot of feeding fish.

Scuds down around 20-25 feet deep on a slow retrive, troll or wind drift. Full sink line...

I'm still getting fish on dragons as well.

Fishing on the "T" was good over the weekend, if you could put up with the 40 degree weather!

If were still invited we will come up the canyon. That woman is one wierd piece of work for sure! She wanted to charge us more to hang around and swim when we were all packed up so I told her to basicaly pound sand, and the money will be going into my tank!

X2.

Some of the lakes around the loops can be good as well. Of all things they seem to key in on boatmen's on a couple of the lakes and you can usually get a bit of a sedge hatch just before dark and into the night.

Get a good bit of cool weather/rain and a good hatch and the fishing can be pretty hot this time of year.
