The kids are enjoying the catch and release on ultra lights...The channels are hitting hard and fast for them and the bait stealing bluegills are keeping them entertained... The fish they have caught seem to be growing rapidly....

I did see 2 dead channel cats mid winter floating, have seen or been able to verify whether the other cats survived...Minnow activity is moderate at the edges. Still catching crayfish, the hawks love me...No turtles caught yet, yay. Been alot of rain, clarity is about a foot. Have some type of oily spots floating around. But all in all , everything appears well.
