Fished Farrington Lake on Sunday, it's pretty low but still fishable, got about a dozen total fish. Bass-pickerel and crappie, but all small. I did swing by the Newark
watershed office, and they confirmed that the Clinton ramp will close this week because it's too low. Only Echo is still open.
Does anyone know how the ramps are at the Valley?

If you don't mind me asking, how deep were you catching the crappie and what technique were you using.

i was fishing near the old broken dam in about 5-8 foot of water, fish were tapping at about 18 inches below the surface.
Getting them on little Berkley Atomic teasers. nothing big, but still action

Round Valley is at 95% capacity, so the ramps are in great shape. Here is a link that gives daily levels for Spruce Run and Round Valley as well as come rainfall and flowrates for local areas. Hope it helps.
