I just talked to Roger up at Wonder Lake.

The lake level is way UP, so more boats will be able to get to the very shallow areas where the most fish usually hang out. Canoes and very small Jons have had the advantage in these areas in the past.He reports that some locals have been pulling out bigger fish than usual, in the 15 pound range. Should be nice.

He also confirmed that spearing is allowed, but said that anyone wading should beextremely carefulsince the bottom is so dangerous.Check with the locals for the safest places to wade.
The official shove off timefor the shoot is 6am, but getting there early will allow for some much needed BSing time and equipment checks.

Last year, there was talk of a dredging project being planned for the lake, but Roger said it won't start until after this shoot is overso it won't affect the water or bottom contours this time around. If they have a Fall shoot, I'll check back then.

Hope to see a fair number of members up there, like usual.
