[size 3]The water level has dropped almost two feet since last week, though the state park boat ramp is still usable and should be usable through the 4th of July. Trout fishing has started to slow down as the water warms up and the level drops.. Fishing has been slow for the larger carryover trout, while fishing for the 10 to 12 inch planters has been fair to good. Perch fishing has been good with anglers using chartreuse or white crappie jigs tipped with worms. Shore anglers have been doing well for perch off of the rocks just south of the state park boat ramp. Boaters have been catching perch in many spots with the favorites being at the mouth of the canyon and near the warm springs. Bass fishing has been fair to good, fish structure (rocky shores) and use plastic gear. [#ff0000]Bass must be released until July 1st. [/#ff0000][/size]
