This is a report for Both Saturday and Sunday -
The WDFW report for April 2-15 said they were pulling 3 fish per person out of the Upper Hampton, so I was ready for some holdover action - not so..
Saturday I hit the Upper Hampton at sunup, there were already a couple of people there who hadn't had any luck so far but said that there were a lot of nice fish being caught on Friday. I fished for a couple hours off the east side of the peninsula with no luck at all - the two guys there weren't having any either, so I went over to the west side of the peninsula. I got one small hit and hooked another about 1# that got off right at the shore with a floating worm, but that was it. Left about noon. By the time I left there were a lot of people around the lake.

Sunday my wife wanted to see where I was (she heard about the Upper Hamptons from my trips there last year), so after we checked out of Mardon, we hit it (Upper Hampton) again at about 9:30. On our walk over we passed 3 guys coming out with a stringer of 4 or 5, so it was looking up, but then the next guy said it was dead. This time we stayed just on the East side of the peninsula. We were using yellow corkies to float worms. My wife caught one 2#er and I had one bite, and one hit that snapped my line. We saw a couple caught trolling, but nothing else from the banks. We stopped at the lower for a little while before heading home and didn't even get a bite. Oh well, at least my wife caught one, but I wonder of the pressure from last Tuesday (opener) thru Friday pretty much wiped them clean from the upper.

Also - as of this post, West MCManamon road is still closed, so you cannot access Hamptons (or others) from the south, only from the north (via Osullivan Dam Road).
