you made it back safely. Those nets sounds like a bummer...... but heck I guess if I was starving, I might not think they were such a bad idea !
Did you say if these were a gill net type, which do not have to be dragged ? Because it seems to me that all of that timber would stop netting in a bunch of areas....... Hmmmm.

Anyway, I am sure that lake will have some more good days, but then it might just be on a downslide as you suspect also. Sure glad they don't allow nets on Pablo :-)

Take care buddy,
Fish
