I had a bio once tell me a southern res. I was fishing was to sterile to produce a lot of fish. I asked her what her definition of sterile was. She explained to me that because the water in the lake was turned over 8 times during irrigation season that weeds could not grow. I asked if she had ever been on the lake, no she had not. I offered to take her out for a ride which she declined and when I told her my observations (the lake was loaded with cabbage and I was averaging 40 pike a day per angler that fall) I could tell she did not believe me. Some get something in their head because someone told them and they will not be shaken. I was a little peaved that she would not come out for a ride and have a look, as the lake was very healthy and produced a ton of fish.
