I told ya i would get yelled at[
] What i am trying to say is it is a screwed up fishery to begin with and since that is the case why not try and make something decent from it. Sounds to me they may try killing it off again, i agree all of the places mentioned have had there day in the sun for panfish but what bugs me is they rise and crash rise and crash while the dwr dosn't do anything for these lakes to help the situation out. I hate the fact that so many lakes are neglected around this area, they stalk fish but other then willard they will not put any bait fish to sustain them which in turn makes the fish eat other game fish wich then defeats the purpose of the lake (look at pineview) besides that since all the resivors are so low right now they should probably take the oportunity to build some habitate to help hold the bait fish and fry Yuba was a good excample of that! And willard bay is a pathetic bathtub of a lake with no underwater structure what so ever other then a few islands and the dike. they could be doing more and I still think Mantua would be a good place for Crappie becuase of the weadbeads and if the fish and game would plant some bait fish to go with it and support the game fish it would be great for all the fish involved [
