True, but I see this as more of a political ploy from those d bags at the Twin Lakes Canal Company. If you look at reservoirs that they don't own, they have way more water. It seems a little convenient that this would happen right after their stupid damned Narrows dam got shot down again. They did the same thing with Winder the last time there was a low water year. They're trying to show how much they need the dam. I wish they would learn that this just pisses people off and makes them not want to help them even more. I will definitely not be going to Twin Lakes during the pay season, that's for sure.
Quote:I wonder what efforts were made to save any fish, what prevented F&G from intervening?
Well, I've been calling them trying to tell them what's going on for a while now, but they don't seem that concerned. The first guy I talked to assured me that they weren't expecting any reservoirs to go to salvage this year. Well, had they looked at it recently? I told him how much water was left, and how much it had dropped in a week, and he didn't seem to care. Next I left a voicemail for Dave Teuscher. He did get back to me several days later, but I missed his call. He didn't seem to have any idea how bad it was there. He said he would be back in the office tomorrow, so I guess I'll call him and fill him in on what the canal company did.
Condie was without a doubt the best bass fishery we had. It's not like they can just restock it next year and everything will be like new. It's dead and will suck for a long time. It's a good thing I don't know where the guy who owns the canal company lives because I may very well end up in jail [mad] I have had it with those a holes.
