| Lake Collins Derby Update |
April 19, 2008 – Collins Lake – The Second Annual CIFFI Collins Lake Family Fun Derby was highlighted by creels of huge trout coming into the weigh station. 113 participants took part in the CIFF derby season kick-off event. CIFFI wishes to thank the sponsors of the derby – Collins Lake Resort and Johnson Outdoors.
Fish of all sizes came in – keeping the weigh masters from Placerville Marine busy tallying the fish. The big fish award went to Don Nelson who bagged a beautiful trout that weighed in at just over 5 1/4 pounds - he took home $255 for his efforts. The blind bogey award of $215 went to Justin Frank – he was closest to the selected weight of 15.76 ounces.
CIFFI wishes to thank all of the participants who spent their Saturday on the water supporting CIFFI’s fund raising efforts at Collins Lake.

| QUAGGA MUSSELS |
|
Kerry, one of the owners of the Pardee consession, was contacted in regards to the ever present and growing Quagga Mussel problem. Aside from the obvious of having to have your entire boat dry, (plug pulled, motor dry, bilge dry, livewell dry, etc), she was asked if there was any other information she could share pertaining to East Bay Muncipal Utility District's regulations at Lake Pardee Recreation. Her response was...
"You are correct about the boat being dry everywhere. Also any boat registered in San Benito or Santa Clara counties or out of state, will not be allowed to launch. Any boat that has been operated or moored in Lake Mead, Lake Havasu, Lake Mojave, Lake Skinner, or San Justo will also not be allowed to launch."
Please be extra diligent in making sure you completely drain your boat and engines even if the waters you fish in isn't known to have this invader.
As of March 30th, Lake Berryessa does not have any restrictions and is not inspecting any boats.
