It's sad what has happened to Jameson. I fished the spring and fall openers every year for over 20 years, but the last 5 have been so bad that I'm going elsewhere. 2 years ago I caved in and decided to try the spring opener. The crowds were way down and so were the fish. There was an emergency stocking right before the opener, so there were a few fish caught. I spoke at length with the fish biologist and he had no idea what was going on with the water quality and what was causing the fish die off. Isn't that their job?.... He said they were considering a staggered planting of larger fish and not stocking the small fingerlings in May.

I don't believe this happend last year, so I would be suspect of a decent opener this year. Does anyone have any updated info. on this once magnificent lake? I missed the Oct. opener this past year, so how did that play? Shame how far downhill this lake has gone. Jameson would have to be rated in the top 10 for size and fish caught in past years. I see they stocked the heck out of Blue Lake this year, so that may be my destination unless I hear something favorable from Jameson.
