Article: Dale Hollow Dave's fall report

[BRS]

Thanks for the reports Dave. Not for sure if you remember but I talked with you on the phone about 2 or 3 years ago about the fish kill on Dale. Out of all the opinions I heard I think your reasoning for it made more since. I still have not forgot what you said when you said you would expect within about 5 years of the kill you would expect someone to come out of Dale with a 10 LB SM. I been counting the years (boy do they go by fast) and it is already going on the 4th year. From your reports it sounds like the lake is on it way there. Best of fishing and thanks again for the reports.

Hey Billy, thanks for the comment, I believe I do remember our conversation. On that note I believe if they changed the slot to three fish under 17 and one over 22 we would have even better results. Remove more smaller fish from the fishery and protect the larger ones will produce more trophy class on the regular.
