Perch schooled up right off the boat launch (heading to the right as you leave the launch) in 22' of water.

Alder is going to be a tough nut to crack I think. So much cover out there. My plan is to stick with the creek channels and troll the bends. I need to get back up there.

JB: Silver should be good now in the canals or along the piling rows (deeper ones). We'll be up there this weekend. Hope you guys make it out. It's like shooting fish in a barrel up there. Gotta work for the big ones though. Use larger jigs or fishing deeper seems to help. Some of the other canals are better for larger fish. Just gotta cover water like always.
Yeah one of the guys from an Oregon fishing website that used to guide at Silver said he went out last weekend and caught a couple hundred in the canals. He said there were a handful of keepers that he caught. I never have tried going to the southern part of the lake for the pilings but heard that's where those larger ones are at. I haven't gotten out over there for a couple years but thought this year would be good to get out since my nephew is 5 now.
