Can this be true??? [pirate] This is terrible if so!! Wasn't Condie supposed to be maintained as a trophy bass fishery? Man, this is bad, bad news! This was posted in our Utah forum.[unsure]
[size 1]Preston Bass Lakes
There was a story in the Preston paper talking about the water levels at most of the areas Bass Lakes. The twin Lakes Irrigation Company who owns most of the reservoirs in the area stated that they intended on draining Conde, Winder, and likely the upper Lake at Twin Lakes before the summer is over. They also said they intended to leave some water on Glendale and Foster. My friend was at Foster last week watching the Bass getting hauled off by the stringer full. He said the water was about 2' deep and people were netting , snaggging , and catching them. So much for leaving some water in Foster. Anyway, the Twin Lakes Irrigation boys said that part of the problem was that they were not able to build a dam at the bottem of the Oneida Narrows. Anyhow, the Fish and Game were not around offering to move any of the Bass from Foster like they were with Winder. Hopefully there will be some bass left in SE idaho before the end of the summer irrigation season?
