I was there yesterday (wed). My primary goal was to test my outboard, but fished for 4 hours without a strike. The positive thing is the motor is running peaches! The Optimax fuel systemis is a closed pressurized system and a tiny leak at the bulb was causing all the problems. Now I can fish again w/o alll the worry about getting back to the ramp.
There were dead baby perch all over the shore line near the ramp at oasis and scattered throughout the lake. The DWR were there putting out gill nets, but they didn't seemed to concerned. I don't think they took me seriously as they don't like my constant whining that they should do something about the pike fishery before it is too late.
If you see dead perch will you please let me know? I can't do anything about it and I certainly have no idea what is causing it, but if others are concerned as well I'll call Drew Cushings in SLC and not springville.
Good luck to all that fish it. I hope you catch a monster. With the prech in the depths now I'm thinking of changing my tactics to fishing deep maybe with a downrigger and trying to intice whatever those big arches are under the perch/carp schools.
