went to downs today with my wife for mothers day ! what a good idea , my wife and I each caught a dozen or so of these 1.5-2lb toads . got to do some lewis and clark fishing with the pads still fairly low . we fished parts of the lake you would need a machete for in summer and had a blast. have a typical fishing story . . . you should have seen the one that got away 3-4 pounder . . going again next weekend before it gets too overgrown water temp was 56-60 depending where you were . with so much good vegetation I never even fired up my gas motor .

Jumbo Perch in Downs Lake, one of the best lakes I fish for Big Perch. Its a bit early for them but when they turn on you will love it. I have caught many over 12 inches and a few over 13 and have seen a couple almost 14 inches. If they are not 8 or 9 inchec we don't keep them.
