Does anyone have a report for Little Camas?

Fish and Game recently reported that the winter kill was pretty complete, and the operators (irrigators) are predicting they will probably empty it again. So, F & G announced that they will only make a token plant--I believe they said 5000. Doesn't sound too promising. Mike

Not good. Little Camas used to produce some thick beautiful rainbows. Lots of great memories float tubing.

Quite possibly one of the worst decisions ever made was the annual draw down of Little Camas to a mud puddle. One of my most memorable fishing adventures was fishing it in late September the year that I moved here, 1990 and just catching multiple amazing thick and beautiful Rainbows like you're describing.

If you're willing to drive a ways further, Magic does have fish like Little Camas used to offer right now. I fished it two days ago and the fishing was excellent. I brought my float tube with every intention of fly fishing but they were biting on bait so well from the bank that I never even got my float tube out of the bag. I caught 10 or so total, missed a bunch of others and kept 3 nice ones like the one in this picture. Even the "smaller" ones were 12-13 inches.

Nice fish! What part of Magic are you fishing? I have never fished it. Always intended to but never did.

I was fishing off of Myrtle Point, not too far from the boat ramp at the West Side Resort.

Thanks for the tip. I may go give it a try weekend after next. My wife & I going up to Orofino to visit my Mom & Dad this weekend. Dad & I will probably fish Dwarshak & see if the smallmouth are biting.
