The reservoir has receded, the water was in good condition and I finally got into some perch. I was in my float tube using worms under a slip bobber. The fish were in about 7-9' of water and close to shore - lots of small fish but I caught several in the 12"-13" range. Boy are they tasty. I was fishing around Campbell Creek.

Anything over 10" is great in my book.

I'm glad to hear that Cascade is coming around. I'll be heading up Thursday for two weeks. Sounds like you had fun.

I thought I uploaded this photo but apparently I messed it up. Here are a couple of the pigs I caught on Friday. The State record yellow perch is 2 lb. 9.6 oz. 15.5" and I'll bet it gets broken in Cascade. The average size has increased significantly in the past two years. I saw a guy fishing off the dock at Campbell Creek who caught a 26" rainbow as well as a 22' koke he caught with powerbait. They were fat too - that rainbow looked like a steelhead.

Hey "Tangler"
The state length record got broken this winter through the ice. Some guy caught a hog that was 15 5/8" but 2 oz shy on the weight. A game warden measured it and told me about it, so it's a legitimate story.
