Hows the fishin'
I can't give a recent report. 30 years ago, fishing was excellent. Shore
fishing was great, with campgrounds and multiple access points around the lake. They had a growing fishery for stripers that was receiving a lot of attention. My favorite site was above the dam. I fished minnows on light line to good effect. Its a huge lake with a complex shoreline. When I was there, it was a new impoundment with no weeds. Sand/gravel bottom with the occasional boulder (big as a bathtub) for structure. I'm sure the fishing is still great. Pepperoni "John Franklin" wrote in message nk.net...

Pepperoni Thanks bro :-) I am from the NW originally and I always wanted to do some REAL Bass fishing, Bass fishing is a JOKE in Oregon, however the trout and salmon fishing ain't too shabby. :-) John |

I've wanted to revisit JPP for years, but can't get away. Salmon are hot now here, browns are in shallow, lakers swimming around among the chinooks and the pike are schooled up in the weedy bays. I'm afraid to stop fishing; I might miss something. Prpprtoni |

C'mon down John...
If you'll be here in about 4 weeks, you'll catch some great fishing times! It's my favorite part of the year for catching numbers of fish, but the bigger fish are usually all caught in the spring. If you're talking about bass fishing, take Henry's advice and join us over at rec.outdoors.fishing.bass. There's a few of us Percy Priest, Old Hickory, Center Hill, and Dale Hollow fishermen over there. We're also planning a get-together fun tournament for the spring on Center Hill Lake... info can be found he www.mintennclassic.org J.Percy Priest is my "home" lake.
