Yep, back in late 70's early 80's if you didn't know your way around you could get lost as last years Easter egg. I have fished all that buck brush 27458 is talking about. Almost a complete wall across the lake. Just a few openings to get a boat through. All the standing timber by Holiday was just a wall across there. Every tree this time of year had 3-4 boards nailed to them with a yo-yo on each end. Coming up the lake as the sun came up it looked like a light show with sun reflecting off them.
