East End - Sunday, February 5, 2012

Fished the east end with the kids for about 5 hours saturday feb 4th.  tried 30 to 8 feet of water.  couldn't keep a line down.  the whole area I fished was infested with 6" perch.  even tried tip ups with smelt and the perch would instantly grab the smelt and take off with it poping the flag.  in 20 feet of water the perch would follow jigs from the bottom all the way up to your hole.

The lake looks to be about 20 to 25 feet lower than its peak at 1854 this summer, and the water line has recieded past the cottonwood trees.  The little fish obviously have no where else to hide.  gonna be interesting trying to baitfish this summer.
