Mackinaw fishing has picked up, with action throughout the morning in 50 to 100 feet of water. Anglers have been trolling flashers and a live minnow on the northwest side of the lake. Talking with Jason, they caught 12 nice macs and a couple rainbows. For more information go to rubyjeancharters.com or call 775-233-5055.
