thanks, i had a conversation with mark warren, he told me he never talked to them, and he's mis-quoted often . . also mead is the largest reservoir in the U.S. at least by surface area . . or total volume or something like that

Southernman,
My brother is in town and he wanted to see the dam so we took the tour today. According to them, Mead is the largest man-made reservoir in the US. I don't know if there is a larger natural reservoir out there or not. I even checked the dictionary because I thought all reservoirs are man made. Not so, they can be naturally occuring they only have to store water to be a reservoir.
When talking of bass spots remember Paranaghat*spelling*. I know the carp are overrunning the place, but bass are still plentiful. A customer just went fishing there and he did pretty well..
Later,
Mark
