          Gary Craft and I cut 400 willows April 1 for planting as well as ~ dozen cottonwoods. We will meet Friday April 11 at Cabin 6 at 10:00 a.m.
          Turkeys were forming large groups between the dam and Steer Creek. Also, many turkey seen South of the Boardman and down to Mullen. Quite a few whitetail between the golf course and the dam. Had to stop due to muleys around Merritt.
          During the week, maybe 8/10 of an inch of rain and snow wetting the area.

          Walleye action on the dead side, but should be close!

            Keith Dittrich, Tim Petersen and myself planted ~ 400 willows on the Lil’ Sandy on both the east and west sides. The plantings were densely placed in areas where bank above was lacking vegetation and at high risk for erosion. So, watch your feet for 4-6 inch high cuttings. On the west side, the plantings are associated with alluvial fans of sediment and cattle cuts.
