Thanks for posting the results of the survey, Amy.
You can see from the comments that the DWR will have it's hands full trying to come up with a management plan that will satisfy anglers. The big problem is that any plan that is arrived at will take many years to accomplish. Despite the fact people think that anglers are a patient group, they are not.
What I see as the biggest problem with Scofield is the water management and the DWR has little to no control over that. We are in drought cycle now and that has made things even worse. How long has it been that the water at Scofield was actually clear enough to see the bottom in 8' - 10' of water? The weed beds on the south end of the lake are virtually none existent anymore because the water levels don't get high enough. We were fortunate that this years algae bloom seemed to only effect the chubs.
Thanks again for allowing the anglers to participate in the survey.[
