[cool][blue][size 1]Hey Eric, good to hear you're in the area. I am on the way out...moving back to Utah by the end of July.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I experienced one of the fish kills on Saguaro on my last trip up there. As we launched our tubes in Butcher Jones we noticed lots of dead shad on the water. Later we noticed little gobs of stuff floating all over the cove, that turned out to be dead fresh water clams. The lake stunk bad.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]So did the fishing. Could not find any fish in the entire cove, and did not see one carp jump. That whole cove was a desert. We saw an occasional small blip on the sonar at about five feet deep, but nothing on the bottom and nothing around the shoreline.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]I filed an online report with Rory Aikens, who does the weekly fishing reports. Didn't hear back from him but I understand several other people reported similar findings.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Hey, Eric, I more or less gave up on the Arizona board a while back. If you are interested, maybe we can make you moderator and see if we can pump some life back into the forum. Makes more sense than leaving it as it is, and I am leaving the state.[/size][/#0000ff]
