There’s several decent places to stay in Aurora.
I no expert (far from it), but I would expect that the males will be in and the females will be moving in or staging to move in. All is dependent on the weather and water temperature. Colors depend on the water, Its hard to beat a minner n hook.

I would add after seeing mrdux post, check out his fishing report. His reports are spot on and he usually tells you everything but the spot he's fishing.

Before we got our own place we always stayed at Whispering Oaks. I just went to look for the link and it looks like it changed hands so while I assume it's still pretty much the same but can't say for certain. Nice cabins, a ramp for launching a boat, and slips with electric available. Bob and Marilyn were the best when they ran it and I'm sad to see they have sold it. I hope they are well. Anyone know the story behind the change in ownership?Quote:

tjeu also rent just slips if you want to stay at a hotel near by but not mess with boat launching. No one has ever ,eased with my unattended gear there or anywhere I guess I have been lucky.
