Upstream i believe will be best...The Kosmos launch....if attainable...do'nt know if the water is up yet...usually stays low for snow melt....strait across from the launch at Kosmos is several large gravel flats...the smallies will be feeding on the breaks if they are awake!!! current makes for a different critter so good luck as i have never fished Riffe before June!

Good morning "Hawkeye",
  Don't listen to Chris "Sarge",
  He has a REALLY bad taste in his mouth for that lake.  I doubt it has anything to do with the fact that he gave up the Angler of the Year title on that lake needing a single keeper and couldn't get it!  Larry is right on with his post, in my opinion, of course.  As Larry said, directly across from the Kosmos boat launch on the south shore there is a "stump field" on a HUGE gravel flat with shoreling breaks that "step down" in increments of about 5 feet or so due to wave action.  The fishys have got to be on one of these "breaks" but I doubt they'll be up on the flat yet.  Don't let "Sarge" scare you off that pond!  There are some beautiful fish in that lake and when good, the numbers are as good as any pond east of us.  Good luck and don't forget to give us a report!

Sarge,
  I suggest you "keep our little secrets secret". (or I'll tell them about the time you.............)  The story may be continued........ Chris?
