Lake Lenore a letdown, fly fisher says
FISHING -- Fishing for Lahontan cutthroats at Lake Lenore leaves a lot to be desired, according to recent reports from fly fishers.
- Perhaps it has nothing to do with illegal gillnetting operations that have been busted in recent years (photo above).
Terry Mauer offered this report from last week:
DEAD. Saw no fish, saw no fisherpersons, saw no evidence anyone had even pulled into the north end parking area or walked along the north end bank.The lake shallows had a much-more-than-usual sticky green slime, the water generally looked awful.The stream that comes over from the other lake and provides the fish with some hope of spawning - hahahahaha - has not enough water in it for a large minnow to try to swim up into.My view -- and from a non-scientific or limnolgist's /biologist's standpoint --is: we have probably lost this lake for at least the time being.Too bad.
