You didn't miss all that much. The story tells how the lake is being worked on to reduce decaying vegetation at the bottom. The lake is actually a reservoir created in 1916 for irrigation of the nearby Bastanchury Ranch. In fact, my family, old timers in Fullerton, still called it Bastanchury Lake. That's pronounced Bass-in-cherry, not Bast-an-chury, by the way. Talks about how the critter lives, and how they're shipping it back east to a reptile preserve, and chronicles some run ins with "Old Bob" over the years.
