There is a very narrow window where the water is between 65 and 71. So you can both swim and catch big fish on the surface. Last year it lasted two days! I was there. The window between temps 72 and 75 seems to last much longer but the big stipers are still deep. Bass don’t seem to mind these higher temps. Walleye and Stripers do.
Wayne says best water temp is 67 degrees. Not coincidentally that is when I plan my fall trip.
