There was a dry spell , around 7 years ago then some rule changes combined with an influx of fish from a upstream lake after a real wet spring. Things turned around nicely. SRD permenatly closed the main spawning area and that seems to have had a positive effect. I have not checked the current regs but rummor was they are dropping the limit from 5 to 3.
As word is getting out itis getting busy, July long last year it was smoking crowded there were 9 trailers at the boat launch
