The rock jetties and willows around the marina bay might produce some fish. I haven't been able to hit if for almost 2 months due to work so I'm not really sure of any hot spots.

If I were you, Art, I'd use the ramp closest to the tracks.

And, Skeeter, that's not the "G" in GPS. Save your money.

Area 2 is where I always go. It is usually quiet back there. You can park your truck and trailer very close and easy. Restroom facilities are about 50 yds away from the docks. I like to fish back there in the trees anyway so I have two good reasons. I like it especially if its windy.

Its at the opposite end of the dam so if you are planning to fish up there this would probably be poor choice, unless you don't mind a short boat ride.

I have not used any other ramps so my opinion is rather limited. This ramp is perfect for me so I haven't strayed nor experimented.

Area 2 is fairly clean now, too. That's where I picked up the bulk of my trash last Monday!

Area 5 has a very nice ramp with good protection from the wind. I have had good success with cats fishing the shallows where the cottonwood trees have grow when the water was down. Lots of snags but lots of fish. White perch work great for cut bait
