Downs Lake, Wow....what a place!!!! Trout are coming in really good. Perch are still a bit slow, but wait till the weather warms up, we will be catching them in bucket fulls!!! All you need is a hook and a worm for the perch, sit in the lily pads and about six inches from the bottom and wait. Average size of the perch are 12 to 14 inches. After a hard day of fishing, it's always nice to sit around the community camp fire and find out what everyone is fishing for and how they are catching. A very nice and friendly place!!
