[#0000FF]I'm going to hit the crappies myself...but probably not until Wednesday.
Go up Ogden canyon to the Eden turnoff which goes north over the dam. Follow that road around to the Port Ramp turnoff. Drive down to the bottom of the ramp and launch your yak there...parking back up the hill after unloading.
You can sometimes find fish right off the end of the docks. Do you have sonar. If not, you will have a tough time, since the fish hold in only a few areas, at exact depths.
Best bet for finding fish is to paddle back around toward the dam. You will be in an area called the narrows...for obvious reasons. The lake necks down as it gets closer to the dam. Stay on the north side of the channel and start looking for fish just off shore when you notice a change in the rocks along the shoreline. The bottom drops off quickly so you can be fishing 20 feet deep a few feet from shore. However, the fish are more likely to be about twice that deep so you will have to work in and out until you find them.
Fish small jigs...tipped with worm, wax worm, perch meat or Gulp minnows. Drop to the bottom and then raise it up a bit. Sometimes the fish are holding a few feet off the bottom and you may have to keep raising your offering a few inches at a time to find the right depth.
You may also catch bluegills, perch or smallmouths in the same area. Most bites this time of year are not hard...so you need light tackle and a sensitive touch. Set the hook if there is any "change in the force".
Good luck. Here is a general map. Sorry, I did not pinpoint the fish for you.
