I fished Lincoln Thursday morning and saw Richard's outfit in the parking area and also had a brief chat with Ben at the ramp. No closure or warning signs when we left at about 10:30. I'm okay with the warning signs, just don't want to see it closed to fishermen wanting to launch. I agree with others, the blue-green goo has been there for years and has only become an issue in the past couple of years. Much to do about nothing; don't play in it, avoid it, but fish on.
Must say too the fishing that morning with the overcast skies and calm water was some of the best we have had this year. The cats were very active and hungry. We caught many cats, probably around 30 or so and they were all very healthy and full of fight. Best cat was a 28 incher but many in the 24 - 27 inch range. It could only be describes as fast and furious fishing.
Fished in Provo Bay earlier in the week and again today. Windy with a little rain but still managed a bunch of cats -- again, the biggest was a 28 incher.
Had a first last week when I was accosted by a cow while fishing Provo Bay in my kayak. Was fishing near the reeds and heard something come toward me from behind..... turned to see a cow swimming right toward me. Was uncertain if the critter had anger issues or was just looking for friendship, either way there was not enough room in the yak for both of us. My yak paddle must have looked like one of those wing-flapping duck decoys as I paddled to deeper water. Alas, the bovine came to his senses and headed back to shallow water.
With regard to Lincoln... put up the warning signs but do not deny access. I'll be there tomorrow for more great fishing.
