Recently visited Martis "Pond" and spent time thinking about "what if"........ Basically driving around on the lake's bottom. Sad.

Maybe Mr. Frank P. could chime in and share some of the lake's history as a fishery. There are times when it would be nice to just be able to go someplace like the former Martis Lake and fish. There isn't always time to venture further to Almanor, Crowley, Eagle, et. al. especially in the Spring and Fall when days are shorter, etc.

Thoughts?

When was the best time of year to fish? Best trout species? What would be the best combination of elements for the lake to succeed as a nice FF destination?

There are some interesting aerial photos if you search for them...........

BTW, is the dam really seismically unreliable? Or did the water just get siphoned off or cutoff? Boca Dam is getting an uplift as I assume it is to create greater storage capacity for Reno. Wouldn't Martis do the same?
