Hey Pounder,

Congrats on the cat. You know, Las Flores is actually a ranch owned by a private owner that takes up a huge amount of summit valley. The Aquaduct may/may not pop up on areas of that ranch. I've never walked the length of it myself, but know that it gets sucked under about a mile down from where you were, before it surfaces at Silverwood again. It could pop up somwhere, but I don't know.

What were you using when you cought the cat? I went for striper today, in the Victorville area off Amargosa, and don't think theres much in there, except structure (old cars). My first cast I let my bucktail hit bottom, started the retrieve, and BAM! got snagged on something and couldn't get it off. Tried some more bucktail action further down, nothing, topwater in the evening, nothing. Almost lost another bucktail to the same thing later on...what the hell can be down there? Its a cement channel!?

Anyway, would appreciate the advice on the what U caught the cat on, as I'm thinking thats what type of fishing I'm doing in there from now on. I don't think the striper like me.

Cheers,
