The "Good Old Days"

[SkunkedAgain]

Pat, appreciate the run down and history of the ups and downs.... I know we have issues with power squadron and management issues, but seems like you've seen enough cycles over the years to know that there is potential for ups ahead in the future.. what do you expect with a couple years of high run offs here in a row, what type of waters will be good in the next few years? You point to spawning area for perch and crappie being good for future upticks, about how long does it take to raise a good crop of fish, 3-5 years? I'm hoping it's a general uptick across lots of ponds, but which do you expect will see the best kicker? Kind of sounds like from your stories that small mouth bass are kind of a problem and aren't necessarily a good thing to have in a productive pond, is that true? I guess right now we should be taking advantage of the big channels in Utah Lake and nice perch in Willard... I know they all cycle and the down times aren't looked forward to, but they seems to make those good times seem even better... I always enjoy getting out and trying to catch a fish anyway... Don't think the ice army hurt the fish very bad this winter, at least I sure didn't... Later J
