[cool][#0000ff]Hey, in this day and age of high technology and even higher people (good meds), almost anything is possible...or at least conceivable.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Guess it's about time to repost my old story of THE MONSTER OF WILLARD BAY. I actually wrote this back in the 80's but rewrote it a few years ago to reflect some of the changing biology of the lake. Still a reference to the once abundant crappies, but what the heck. Can't mess with everything.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Just for the record, the cats do spawn, but in unprotected nests (without the rocks) and a high percentage of the eggs become Purina Carp Chow. There are some areas of underwater rockpiles and vegetation that are utilized by a small percentage of the spawning cats...enough to keep a population in the lake until good times return.[/#0000ff]
