No Fishing Information Night this year. Richard Sanders is talking about Clinton and Melvern at the Topeka Boat Show on Feb. 10th 6 pm. I'll be talking about Perry and my other small lakes at the Topeka Boat Show on Feb. 11th at 2 pm. Construction is done on the back side of the dam so the lake will be allowed to refill as we get moisture. DO NOT TRY AND USE THE NORTH LANE of the ramp, you will lose your boat trailer. GPS locations for new brush piles(some hedge, mostly cedar): N 39°07.381’ W 095°09.277’ N 39°07.388’ W 095°09.278’ N 39°07.397’ W 095°09.279’ N 39°07.407’ W 095°09.279’ N 39°07.417’ W 095°09.280’ N 39°07.487’ W 095°09.229’ N 39°07.478’ W 095°09.236’ N 39°07.367’ W 095°09.276’ N 39°07.339’ W 095°09.246’ N 39°07.337’ W 095°09.240’ N 39°07.342’ W 095°09.261’ N 39°07.345’ W 095°09.262’ N 39°07.347’ W 095°09.264’ N 39°07.594’ W 095°08.655’ N 39°07.593’ W 095°08.645’ N 39°07.588’ W 095°08.641’ N 39°07.584’ W 095°08.629’ N 39°07.581’ W 095°08.630’ N 39°07.579’ W 095°08.630’ N 39°07.573’ W 095°08.627’ N 39°07.573’ W 095°08.615’ N 39°07.566’ W 095°08.614’ N 39°07.564’ W 095°08.618’ N 39°07.560’ W 095°08.613’ N 39°07.555’ W 095°08.609’ N 39°07.553’ W 095°08.607’ N 39°07.600’ W 095°08.667’ N 39°07.603’ W 095°08.676’ N 39°07.606’ W 095°08.684’ N 39°07.609’ W 095°08.698’ N 39°07.611’ W 095°08.715’ N 39°07.655’ W 095°08.901’ N 39°07.625’ W 095°08.935’ N 39°07.594’ W 095°08.965’ N 39°07.584’ W 095°08.979’ N 39°07.504’ W 095°08.899’ N 39°07.571’ W 095°08.984’ N 39°07.635’ W 095°08.915’ N 39°07.550’ W 095°08.841’ N 39°07.550’ W 095°08.847’ N 39°07.562’ W 095°08.813’ N 39°07.634’ W 095°08.747’ N 39°07.654’ W 095°08.746’ N 39°07.606’ W 095°08.681’ N 39°07.610’ W 095°08.719’ N 39°07.564’ W 095°08.806’ N 39°07.568’ W 095°08.786’ N 39°07.564’ W 095°08.773’ N 39°07.567’ W 095°08.759’ N 39°07.573’ W 095°08.720’ N 39°07.589’ W 095°08.722’ N 39°07.588’ W 095°08.709’ N 39°07.594’ W 095°08.718’ N 39°07.600’ W 095°08.730’ N 39°07.687’ W 095°08.856’ N 39°07.694’ W 095°08.841’ N 39°07.704’ W 095°08.830’ N 39°07.714’ W 095°08.825’ N 39°07.719’ W 095°08.820’ N 39°07.653’ W 095°08.749’ N 39°07.726’ W 095°08.810’ N 39°07.671’ W 095°08.742’ N 39°07.672’ W 095°08.783’ N 39°07.693’ W 095°08.770’ N 39°07.670’ W 095°08.777’ October Netting pictures, check out these fish!
