[#0000FF]Thanks Tom. In spite of my post-trip negativism I suspect that I will succumb to the draw of that purty little lake again in the future.
I'll have you know that my language over the airwaves, following my lost rod thing, was nothing but polite and within all legal boundaries. However, what I said off the air was nuclear. As you can see from the trees in our pictures, it knocked all the leaves off the aspens.
There are likely multiple reasons for the decline in productivity at Mammoth. We have discussed some of those. I personally believe that the change in regulations on Scofield has redirected some of the former meat fishermen from there to Mammoth. Much harder to catch keepable fish at Scofield these days. Increased pressure and heavier harvest...on a small lake...has to have an impact on the numbers.
My floatilla partners both had a good time, in spite of the lesser returns. That was a cool picture you posted...rub a dub dub, three dudes in a tube...or whatever.
