Tree At Narrows Is Gone

[Phil Lilley]

Ryan and I went up and cut the big sycamore tree that was laying over and blocking the channel at the Narrows this afternoon.

But BEWARE!!!

It's lying on the bottom of the lake about 30 inches under the surface when the water is off.

It sunk like a rock when it was cut. The current should move it but I believe it's going to have to be some serious, 4 unit flow to move it down stream. Until then, it's going to cause some issues.

We cut all the branches off of it but you can see the stump on the east bank as well as some small stickup on the shallow side. We cut it in the middle too so it will break apart when it rolls.

I bet it holds trout but drifting over it- you'll lose some "junk" as Babler says.

Phil, that's just awesome on your and Ryan's part. Thanks!
