this is copied from the latest fishing report from azgfd. will it help the gizzard problem or compound it? I just wonder how it will affect the other fish species... smallies, crappie, bluegill... if at all. I bet the monster flathead gorge on those gizzard shad. James This coming Thursday, March 27, is the next meeting of the Gila County Roundtable meeting with AZGFD. You may have heard that AZGFD will be stocking Roosevelt Lake with Florida strain bass within the next two months. They also are working with several government agencies and businesses to place artificial habitat in this lake. Both of these activities are aimed at minimizing the impact of the gizzard shad that have increased dramatically over the past few years and are having a major impact on other fish species in the lake. AZGFD has stated that these roundtable meetings are attended by the most people they have seen at meetings like these. We need to continue to attend in big numbers to keep the momentum to improve Roosevelt Lake fishing. Once again, the meeting is this Thursday, March 27 at 6 p.m. at the schoolhouse in Punkin Center. I hope to see many of our listeners there.
