but honestly, I have mixed feelings about the draining of Pablo..... On the one hand, it will mark the end of an amazing chapter in the Pablo book. But, the Spotted bass had gotten so thick, and the Carp population, along with high nitrates from fertilizer runoff, had really turned the place into an ugly mudhole.
Drastic as it may be, draining the lake and starting over completely from scratch. might be the only thing that could ever turn this place into a great lake again some day, but considering that it might be 15 to 18 years from now before the lake is kicking out 17 plus bass, I won't hold my breath.

Peace,
