JIMI,
Sad to hear such things happening...hopefully the Lake will come back over the next few years & you (& Amanda) can enjoy fishing it as it "peaks".....
Reminds me of Last Summer in the High Backcountry of the Sierra Nevada... We had a drought year last year in the Sierras.... I've been going to fish all thru the Sierras almost my entire life & I have Never seen Water levels soo low... I am used to the Drought/Low water condirtions of Southern California (and so are the Native Trout in the local streams) But this was the worst I have ever seen the Sierras...
I mean I was at the Headwaters of a System...the only source of water above this lake is Snow melt or small "rills" coming in from below the Talus/Scree slopes... There I was in late July.... And the Lake was down over 2 feet!!!!! you could see the highest water mark on the shore rocks & the lake was that low....!!!!!!!!!! Late July in the Sierras at 10,000 ft. is early/mid Spring in reality... The Alpine lakes should Never be that low & especially that early in the season... Also at that time My Friend & myself should have been getting Sucked dry by Mosquitos... Peak time for them that high up... But being a Drought year we encountered Nothing....
Droughts are bad, but a Part of Mother Nature... she knows the routine very well after 500 million years of having living animals on this orb in Space...
Hopefully SE New Mexico will get a Wet Winter next winter......
