Thanks for the pics... the lake is a bit down, but it's fabulous compared to two years ago... I could've cast across it at one time two years ago and the dam was fully out of the water. One thing about it being low was I could see what cover was there... at the base of the dam was several sunken trees and whatnot for crappie so try fishing there if you want crappie.
Powermaker... if you want to bring a kid fishing then Echo or Eagle Valley is definately the place to go. The action is generally non stop at both and that little boat of yours will up your odds quite a bit... I've done real well where the creek comes in at both lakes. They load both those lakes up with so many stockers that it's hard to miss. Bank fishing becomes harder as the year progresses because of the weeds, but it's never a problem in a float tube or boat.
My son is only 1 years old but you can bet your bottom dollar that I will spend many a trip at both those lakes when he get's a little older... Make sure you toss out a pole with a worm on it at Eagle Valley, 'cause it has a few big browns swimming in it
.
Later guys,
Mark
ps. BigE if you tie your own then I"ll just let you know what colors and styles work and let you take it from there. Let's get together for that beer sometime!
