I have spent the last two weekends at Starvation and the Lake is at full pool, a few people fishing but most looked like they were trolling for trout. People are still ice fishing the Ladders area on Strawberry. Upper campgrounds are finished and are ready for use. A few changes made since last year but the campgrounds are really nice, should draw some nice crowds, I have 5 weekends reserved for camping from May to August[fishin]

With the lake at full pool that is going to make for some great fising. Can't wait to get up there.[cool]

My hunt was a total bust this year, I guess I deserve a bad year after a few good ones in a row. Saw plenty of birds on Indian land but not much on the several hundred acres we can hunt. Hunters hunting there that didn't have permission. Our friend now lives about 10 miles away in Roosevelt so I think the locals know that there is no one there to keep an eye on the ground even though it is fenced and still has the old No Trespass signs up. One idiot spent Sat. Eve. walking around the woods shooting his gun every 20 minutes or so. He fired his last shot as we were packing up our decoys and ground blind as shooting hrs. had ended, he was maybe a couple hundred yards away, jumped in his truck and left. I was going to have the wife get an over the counter tag in May, but may have to reconsider. Congrats to you guys that got your toms. Time to get the Ol'Crestliner out for some walleye fishing, I'm hoping we still have an over abundance of walleye in Willard Bay that need to be thinned out[crazy]

I am sure fishing at Willard will be one to remember with the huge numbers that are left. Good luck.........Fishon

I will only keep 25% of the fish I catch there to help alleviate some of the heavy harvest. [:p]

You are a true sportsman PackFan.......I will try and do the same. Fishon

I toasted my 1997 Merc 150 EFI at Bullfrog on April 15 and I'm waiting for a new Mercury Pro XS 150 direct injection 2 stroke (Optimax). My boat should be good to go in about 10 days. I'll look for you at Starvation during some of those weekends. It's the only time my wife the teacher can go until school is over for this year. Look for the Lund 1850 Tyee GS, two tone grey with the new Merc. I'll also be camping in my dark charcoal F250 with the Lance Camper in spot #14 if it's available when we go. I look forward to saying hello and swapping some lies about fishing and turkey hunting.
The engine failure was apparently my fault because I moved my stern transducer too deep and too far inboard and it caused water to be sprayed vertically at high speed along the right side of the motor. Water was injested by the fuel injection system and it caused a "fatal malfunction" as the boat mechanic told me last week. Because something I did apparently caused the failure, my insurance will cover at least a portion of the replacement which is on the high side of $12,000.00.
