Thanks for any information

It seems the Stripers always like cruising that cove. There's sooooooo much slurping activity there in early Summer. Definitely be wary of the point that will be wayyyy out into the channel at these water levels. I've altered my path to Rock Creek in recent years, avoiding that point as I pass by.

Thanks again Steve

Have some friends that just got off the lake and fished that area hard. Fishing wasn't on fire like last fall but did pretty good considering. A lot of small healthy fish. They did get into small stripers in Friendship and the back of Rock Creek.
The highlight of the trip was a 6lb striper and a 10.6lb striper.

I should define 'small' fish. Nothing over 2lbs.
Hope you have a fantastic trip!!

Had friends, good fishermen, who parked in Dry Rock a month ago and fished that whole area with very little success. I'd suggest at least one early morning run the Cha in the San Juan. It sounds like it's on fire and has been for a month or so. About this time one year I camped in Cha and the big boils were unbelievable. Chuck

20 years ago, when we were still renting, we had a friend fishing off the back of the houseboat, all the way in the back of Friendship, who caught his very first fish, a walleye.

No talent, just luck!

PFD just reported that the load of fish they caught were right where the river runs into the lake. For many years I took an Oct camping trip to the start of the lake (regardless of the water levels) and always loaded up on fish, some trolling, some jigging and some in boils. Have your weapons ready. Chuck
