Maybe now we know the reason the fishing has been so spotty this year.
Certainly farm runoff and sewage overflow are the major contributors in conjunction with global warming. What irritates me is the number of "anglers" pissing in the lake. It's quite easy to take a plastic soap jug in the boat, pee in the jug AND dump the pee into a toilet. Thousands of fishermen peeing into the lake every day doesn't help the situation and that is at least totally preventable.
