Stopped by the automotive center behind the shoppette today to pick up the fishing permit for Lake Offutt.

First time i have ever heard of them putting a size and bag limit of fish. But its not too bad.



I asked how bad the flooding got, they said the lake was 12' above normal. None of the structures were damaged, which is good. But they said a majority of the trees were dead and being cut down. Like i said before, they will have limited access on the 5th and full access on the 12th.

Sounds like zebra mussels are still a problem out there, despite several treatments. I wonder if they will do what Lake Zorinsky did and just drain the whole thing and let a winter freeze kill them off.

Another thing i like is that they have banned bowfishing out there. I was getting tired of people bowfishing carp and buffalo and leaving them behind instead of taking them.
