Wow - thanks for all the great details folks.
It's a great, yet -
story for fishery management, and community impact. My wife's mom lives very close, and we had some ice-fishing discussions this past winter.
Must say - those of you that new it back in it's heyday - are some lucky folk. Like I said - used to be quite a diverse fishery.
This January was when several ponds transitioned either to-or-from being Community ponds. As Holmes moved off the list, the Wellsville pond moved on the list. This spring they threw some big cutts in there. Not many, but 18-22" is a pretty good starter size compared to the common planter-bows.
Recent visit with the DNR suggested there will (as expected) be a rash of plantings over the Memorial weekend timeframe, in anticipation of free fishing day.
Hooked on Utah had a episode on special needs kids fishing at a community pond. Everybody got to kiss a fish. Good tugs!
