Super Infectious! |

Since the infestation was discovered in Oct. of 2007 these mussels have spread throughout the lake. It's up to all of us to make sure these are not spread to other area lakes, Clean-Drain-Dryeverything that is taken out of Perry. Mussels are spawning now! August samples showed about 11 veligers/12 oz can! |

No Fishing Information Night this year. Richard Sanders will be talking about Clinton and Melvern at the Topeka Boat Show on February 10th at 6 pm. I'll be talking about Perry and my other small lakes on February 11th at 2 pm. Click on Perry Reservoir above the fishing report to look at the October Netting Pictures. I'll have some netting numbers up shortly. Click on the underlined fish species and it will take you to the updated Fishing Forecast. Zebra mussels were confirmed on 10-9-07, so make sure you clean, drain and dry your boat after leaving Perry. Worked on some habitat in Rock Creek Arm: hedge, cedar and locust. Here are the GPS locations for the piles.
