[#0000FF]Good to see some activity on the old Arizona board. I tried to get that going many years ago...while I lived in Chandler. Now I am up here and you are down there. I hit all the lakes along both the Verde and the Salt Rivers. So maybe I can help with any questions you might have. Feel free to PM me.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Don't remember the "golden algae" but do remember one morning on Saguaro (Butcher Jones) when my wife and I arrived to a foul smell and virtually zero fish where we had caught grundles of yellow bass, largies, crappies and cats the previous weeks. Nary a sniff in several hours of serious fishing. On our way back in we noticed a lot of small dead clams floating on the surface...part of the source of the smell. Fish and Game investigated and found there was a toxic algae episode. There was no visible algae in the water but whatever it was had run off all the fish and killed anything that was left behind.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Good luck down there. Lots of good fishing. But on our recent trip to visit family and friends we noticed that there has been a lot more development and there are a lot more people hitting the water.

[#0000FF]About the attachments. A short time ago the owners of the website decided they needed more bandwidth. So they cleaned out all of the old saved files. As you will notice, all of my old posts on that Arizona board are now "naked"...no pictures. And on my float tubing board I had put together extensive pictorial files on how-to stuff...including lots of descriptive pictures. The big purge wiped out countless hours of work I had put into that board.[/#0000FF]

. Most of the boards have been good resources not only for new members, but for older members to go back and research various subjects. And the pictures and PDF files have been a valuable part of that process. GONE.
