Some people forget how close Crowley is from the Bishop Creek Canyon, but we didn't. Three of the Parchers Resort staff got out on the lake with two Sierra Slammers pro-staffers to test out the Sacramento Perch bite.

Long story short, the perch are moving in and the crew found a few fish in Big Hilton and Crooked Creek but found an almost wide open bite on quality perch to 2 lbs at Leighton Springs. The next few weeks should be really on. The perch were biting 2" swimbaits and grubs in motor oil red flake, cricket, rootbeer gold flake and pumpkin tail.

After filling a cooler with perch the group trolled around Sandy Point with Tasmanian Devils at 3 colors for 7 Browns in the 16 to 20" range and a few Rainbows.
