Thanks, everyone. Brettski, I'll check out that thread on beaches. I think the wife would really like it. Dave,'ve seen the BG create "moonscapes" with all their spawning beds, but I was hoping that a gravel bed or two might concentrate them a bit for better fishing. Thanks on the picture compliment, Theo, I'm proud to say I took it myself. A friend owns a little plane and I go on a photo junket once in a while. Remedgar, I have a few "in progress" pictures from the ground that I will add shortly, and I hope to get back into the air to get some of the "before she fills" pictures and then once filled a nice "after" shot. Thanks again, more details will come soon.
