I was at gold the other day when game and fish dropped three nets in the pool. Some kind of hoop nets or something. What have you guys heard is the reason for this? I know last year they took a few to stock another body of water.Danogold you heard anything on this?
They were doing a Crappie survey on Nimrod, Blue Mountain, and Dardanelle earlier thid fall.
...you left a few for them to survey. lolQuote:
