LMAO Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that finds those "UFO" snags. Back when I was messin around a bit with trolling, I found one off of a point in about 30ft of water. All I needed to do was drag a bait through between 10 and 15' down and I'd catch that blasted thing every time. Not a single thing would ever show up on the sonar. Thats when I was VERY happy to have purchased a lure retriever from Toothy!!

Thats interesting info about the changes over the last few years. I just still hope that they can find some other ways to displace the fish and give them a better shot at survival.

On a positive note, it sounds like progress has been made on a lake (Dutch Fork Lake) that I grew up near and fished quite a bit when I was younger. It sounds like the dam repairs are complete and they are close to being ready to start the refill. It just worries me how long it might take to come up with the money needed to make all these repairs. I'm sure these kinds of things are WAY down on the list with all the budget cuts that keep happening every year.
