Grumpy Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Has anyone ever looked at dredging part of the lake? Quote
canadagrey Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Why would you want it dredged? Dredging isn't just as simple as digging a dugout, studies re insect and botanical effects etc. have to be done. Then any fill etc. has to be washed, costs would be absolutely prohibitive. Quote
milelongleblanc Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 If we have enough open water to flipper around in by May long weekend I'll be surprised. Rick Quote

No worries, with all the bugs gone, I am shore the trout would have their fill of marshmallows in no time... also absolutely prohibitive. PS - Just buy a pontoon boat with a dredge, and go out on a certain Midnight Rendevous... in just 50 days. Quote
Grumpy Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 A dredge is not a backhoe, but a pump, it sucks the mud of one portion of the pond and create a large hole in that area. Pumping into the beaver pond, would recycle the water and all aquatic life. All permits and licensing would be arranged by the company doing the dredging. Quote
RangerBob Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Only 45 more days to go... and a "blast from the past" for those that are "still around" and remember how this initial thread got started here. P.S. - Sorry, I missed posting 46 yesterday. Dave, erm "Boy Wonder", what happened to your Avatar today? Is it your Birthday? P.M.S. - Man, how my "photoshop" skills have improved since then. Been awhile since we had a good "Shop War" around here. http://ranger-bob.net/?p=1037 Quote
RangerBob Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Cooooool. The original Batman movie is on right now on AMC as a matter of fact. Hunkering in with popcorn, thinking how I can turn Dave's Avatar into a Penguin. CABIN FEVER - I HAZ IT! Quote
tuber Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 lol! Sat down and watched that too - with my son - although he was distracted by addictingames - he liked the sub and the batmobile though Wait a sec - the Penguin looks familiar... Quote
RangerBob Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Ray, funny but afterward I spotted "Boy Wonder" and "Dock Man" at Muir today.. with a can of "Poacher Repellant" and a tow line. Apparently, some dude was out there trying his MinnKota a little earlier then he was supposed to be. Where's "Wonder Woman" when you need her eh? Quote
milelongleblanc Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Hey Ranger Bob, What's Your Poo Telling You? Rick Quote
RangerBob Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Hey Ranger Bob, What's Your Poo Telling You? RickThe time.. it's 5:56 PM.. time to get down to the OldTimer's hockey game and see Fleury skate again. Oh that, and 43 more days. Quote
dipperdan Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 SO WHAT IS IT LIKE 32 DAYS AND A FEW HOURS????? if there is any water left!!!!!!! Quote
milelongleblanc Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 At the risk of showing my ignorance, dipperdan, where would the water go? Rick Quote
dipperdan Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 The Water levels have been dropping for the last few years. The dock that was placed a few years back was in the water , with water foot or two above the barrel ,( in about 3-4 ft in the water ) Now the water is ( AT the bottom of the support barrel , which is sitting on the bottom of the lake, ( in about 6" of water. ) So I'm guessing the water levels have dropped at least a foot a year, the shore line is 8 ft. out from where it was when we first stocked the lake. Other bodies of water in the area are also low. DAN Quote
Paulf Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 ...hey guys...check out the following pictures... ...picture taken April 14, 2005... Quote
milelongleblanc Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 So what are you trying to tell me, dipperdan, that back in the good ol' days you could fish Muir all the way into August before the weeds choked you out? We've had alot of snow this year, more so as spring approaches. If it keeps up, who knows, water levels may just...Sorry, knocking on wood right now. Rick Quote

I've had some fun fishing that pond!The weeds didn't really bother me that much, when the water temps heated up I didn't fish it ( I don't like to stress the fish ) My two cents, I HOPE they don't stock more fish this year. I don't think it is worth the cost if they won't survive. Water depth was aprox 20ft when first stocked , I'm thinking it's like 15 ft now and by this fall, it could be luckey 13 ft, if we don't get any moisture. Chickakoo ? is also down quite abit..... Dan Quote
milelongleblanc Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, it's kinda scary to look at the "high water mark" at Chickakoo. I'd say it's down about 8 feet. 6 for sure. I think we might lose a few trout lakes here soon if it keeps up. Winterkill is one thing, but if the fish can't make it through the summer it's not much of a put-and-take. Maybe SRD will adopt a new policy of diverting water from the oil and gas industry. Bets? Rick Quote
