I am a huge fishing fan. I am an avid fly fisher, and try to fish two or three times a week during the summer. It is just a way to decompress and think. I know a ton of people who fish too, so I know having a forecast for the hotspots across the state will be key in knowing where to go or not go! If there are any other places we should add, just let us know and we will.

I’ll rank the weather for the weekend as a whole on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being “you’ve gotta go fishing”. Additionally, I’ll link the names to the latest fishing report that I can find. Well, here is your Friday Fishing Forecast for the weekend of July 23-24.

The only issue with this weekend is likely to be the heat. It is gonna be hot and humid this weekend, leading to issues with being out in the heat for too long. If you plan on being on the lake at all this weekend, be sure to take in plenty of fluids and take breaks frequently.
