US Weekly Fishing Report
Every Sunday, we analyze USGS water temperature data across all 50 states to tell you exactly which lakes are in the sweet spot for your target species.
Pre-spawn bass are feeding aggressively in shallow water. Use jerkbaits and spinnerbaits near spawning flats.
Fish deep during mid-day heat. Early morning topwater and late evening crankbaits produce best.
Bass and walleye are schooling with shad. Match the hatch with shad-pattern crankbaits.
Slow down your presentation. Small jigs and blade baits near the deepest available structure.

How the Weekly Fishing Report Works
1. Read Temperatures
Every Sunday, we pull the latest water temperature readings from USGS sensors at thousands of lakes and rivers.
2. Match Species
We compare each water body's temperature against the optimal ranges for 40+ fish species to find the perfect conditions.
3. Rank & Report
Lakes are ranked by their "fishing score" — how many species are currently active — giving you the best spots for this week.
