Anglers happy with break in summer heat

By Bill Bartusek

The heat wave has finally broken after over a week. I'm sure anglers are happy because it was really almost uncomfortable while fishing on the water. Of course, the weeds have really flourished during this period. However, it won't be long, especially in the New Prague area, when some of the weeds will mature and fall.

Panfishing has been really excellent all along since spring. The sunfish are not bothered by the heat and continued to bite all last week. The crappies are suspending but if you find them, they are catchable.
