Inlet to Martha flows from Howard, at least that's how it looks on the map. I was at Martha last night - lots of algae and temps around 58.It’s not the only one in the area. Martha is the same way. This isn’t good, as toxic algae is very rare there at Martha—and unheard of for this early in the year.
I hope you mentioned the toxic algae sign to the bait fishers.Inlet to Martha flows from Howard, at least that's how it looks on the map. I was at Martha last night - lots of algae and temps around 58.
Also a bunch of bait-fishers at the launch and a number of others on docks around the lake.
actually i felt kindof bad about that. that was not on my mind when i launched and while i pumped up my pontoons they landed a couple of stockers. it was not till i was down at the sw end of the lake that i put 2+2 together and realized i could have warned them if i had thought of it. i didn't notice a sign, but i wasn't looking. btw, shouldn't there also be a sign indicating it's a selective fishery?I hope you mentioned the toxic algae sign to the bait fishers.
Or did you take a “cull the herd” attitude?
There is a sign. The Evergreen Fly Club installed one on the message board when rules were changed. Folks are just “selective” readers.actually i felt kindof bad about that. that was not on my mind when i launched and while i pumped up my pontoons they landed a couple of stockers. it was not till i was down at the sw end of the lake that i put 2+2 together and realized i could have warned them if i had thought of it. i didn't notice a sign, but i wasn't looking. btw, shouldn't there also be a sign indicating it's a selective fishery?
Both signs are there but not posted where people are most likely to see them. That big board needs to be moved right down to where the boat launch is.actually i felt kindof bad about that. that was not on my mind when i launched and while i pumped up my pontoons they landed a couple of stockers. it was not till i was down at the sw end of the lake that i put 2+2 together and realized i could have warned them if i had thought of it. i didn't notice a sign, but i wasn't looking. btw, shouldn't there also be a sign indicating it's a selective fishery?
This isn’t Howard is it?Had a look. Should be another at launch.
No. Somehow the thread jumped to talking about Martha Lake and it’s selective gear regs and signs.This isn’t Howard is it?
I wish Martha was a release all trout lake.
