Hi Jigmaker, good to hear from you. I haven't seen the minutes of the last Roundtable meeting either. We talked some about plans for Roosey when the water comes up. About them collecting baseline data on the fishery before the water flows, about determining an appropriate lake level that will trigger the "new lake effect", about G&F having a predetermined idea of the regs to propose when the lake fills up and the fishery explodes.
In short, AZGFD is considering doing some homework up front, monitoring the lake when the water comes up to see that the "new lake effect" is happening and then having a plan in place to go forward to the commission with the new regs. I'm still waiting for a confirmation in writing from AZGFD on a high level 8 step plan I developed off their information.
Thanks!
