Re: rejetting 100hp 2+2 carbs.
The lake has been a nightmare this season and the level is dropping noticably weekly, evaporation, bly tunnel, ? who knows. Unless the springs start pushing water into the lake it may be next to impossible to get anything other than aluminum boats into the lake when the fishing gets good !
I know, it was rough in June but we finally got our 3-4 lb limits. I choose not to fish for planters. I'd rather go home skunked knowing I was fishing and not just scooping fish out like the pelicans.
The year before last was fantastic. It was my Dad's last fishing trip he's there year round now. He'd been going there for over 60 years. We did really well last year in August Sept and Oct. I made the mistake of going up on Labor day but I survived it. I thought I was going up against the Spanish Armada when I came through Pelican and looked down the bay. Sheeze...
It was kind of funny, we slid in amongst the rookies down around Wildcat, slammed 4 nice fish in about 15 minutes and were back at the cabin before the coffee pot shut off. We packed up and headed home the same day. 600 miles for four fish and worth every last bite.
Did they get the pipe shut off over at Bly? I thought I heard they did, there were doing an environmental impact study on it in June. If so your right, that will really help.
Don't the springs get fed from Lassen and the ice caves. I heard they were pretty well depleted. I was thinking that would be why the fish are running deeper than normal.
