The lake level was up and the boat ramp has plenty of water to launch. If you have not launched there before. Stay to the left side when driving out to the lake. Use your depth finder to follow the canal. If you do not, you will run aground on a peninsula on the right side. This time of year you need to start just before the sun comes up for mackinaws. You can fish all day for rainbows. But the mack bite ends about 9 or 9:30. Fish the deep trough on the far side with Blk/silver Rapalas or AC Plugs. All campgrounds in the area have closed for the season.
