Well yeah could be dog days on your lake.But it doesn't effect all lakes /flowages the same. Its been a little slow here in wausa on certain days,blue sky's and sunshine are the worst.so we went up around tomahawk last weekend and fished a really clear water lake in 20 "fow" and killed em on a bright sunny day. My suggestion would be to try something new.I see you live near the river, do you fish the back waters?or wisota? or maybe go to the DNR website and find a good looking lake and give her a go...good luck bro
