Went on my annual camping/fishing trip to Merwin with my oldest daughter Sun - Tues. We had a great time even though the fishing was not what we were used to over the past couple of years. We fished after 6pm on Sunday and Monday evenings, then from 6:30am to 10:30am on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Each trip we caught 2 to 4 fish, ending up with 12 total and losing 5 (2 right at the boat about to be netted...grrrrrrr.) Most of them were 13 to 14 inches and fat with a couple at 11 inches.

Well over half of the fish were caught at 65 feet deep with the others at various depth between 45 and 55 feet. We fished mainly the south shore at the midway point of the lake using a pink/white dodger and pink hoochie tipped with Gulp maggots.
