Got an early start, using the ramp at Cottonwood. Second boat in. Tried finding fish at Jack's Creek with no success, so went back to Cottonwood and found plenty of fish at 15 feet, off the ramp. They shut down around 10:30, so we moved to the narrows, and found constant action, drifting in 15-40 feet of water. You have to wade through lots of dinks to find "mediums", but it was fun getting bites non-stop. You always graph tons of fish there, but I've never seen such a mass of fish as now. The Humminbird was showing false depth readings they were so thick. Caught bass, crappie, perch, buegill, and pumpkinseeds. The fish weren't playing by the rules....the crappie seemed to like a bit of worm, and the perch were favoring a red/white jig with a power bait maggot! I'd rather be catching the nicer Cascade perch, but Strike would be terrific for a fun day with the kids. Mike
