I'm curious to know the story also. I'm from Preston and now live in Logan. My father works at the Oneida Narrows power plant. All growing up I remember the threats of someone putting a dam at the base of the canyon. It is ironic that the Twin Lakes Canal Co. has had to drain these lakes after only one year of drought. I remember last time they drained Condie. It was after multiple years of drought and it seemed like all efforts were being put forth not to do so. It really is unfortunate that it has come to this.
On another note, Brian ID made a comment about the proposed regulation to increase the slot at Treasureton to 20". I think this is a great idea. I fish Treasureton close to 30 times a year, most of which is in the winter. From my experience, most people that fish Treasureton are not there to harvest any fish. The fish are extremely mossy and really don't provide very good table fare. Most people seem to focus more on catching larger fish. Why wouldn't we want to impose a slot of 20" or bigger? This is a reservoir that, if allowed, could produce fish over 25".
