LILhammer.

I don't have any info on lake other than OtterTail at the moment. But if you stop in at Ken's in Amour they will know the scoup.

As for OT the water temps were in the low to mid 70's with a strong may fly hatch in progress over the 4th. The only thing we did all weekend was pull cranks. During the day the Pike bit was good. (Even though we didn't want them.) As evening hit the eyes would start to livin up, but with the hatch things were a but slow. I would expect most of the hatch to be done over the next week or two and things will pick up. Focus your day time bite in 17 to 25ft of water and see if you can pin point where there holding. In the evening look shallow for the feeding cruisers up on the flats. (I like Amour flats) Good luck and let us know how things go when your back.
