If "Cherokee Campground" is the one way up in Sylco inlet, It may not be open to the public and is also extremely hard to get to, by road. My plan for perch is to launch in the lake and use the depth finder to look for signals on the bottom. I wish I could be more specific. I believe that there are two ramps open, at King's Slough and on the north side of the main lake. The river above the lake might have perch - does anyone catch them up there, around the kayak take-out facility ?
