billrquimby Report post Posted February 11, 2013 I witnessed three near-total fish-killing drawdowns at San Carlos Lake in the 1970s and early 1980s. Each time, the bass and crappies returned without restocking, and fishing for 2-pound bass was excellent within three years. Fisheries experts I interviewed claimed that the brush that grew up while the lake was down created spawning shelters and food for fish. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues&Bass Report post Posted March 11, 2013 Heard they were catching crappie already. I would be afraid to eat though might have high mercury levels. The lake will come back she always does. I do not recall the Reservation ever re-stocking after a fish kill. I just hope San Carlos keeps water for a few years so I can fish it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
