    Actually it is your license money (plus the 1/8th sales tax). That's the worst I've seen the east side of Mallard. The guys that manage the WMA used to drag it with a box blade. Don't know what's happened

    Hasn't been right since the 2 year pipe replacement fiasco. The lake is still 2 foot low. Go figure.

    I thought the road around Mallard was a county road.

    Been seeing some boats at Big Lake lately. Not sure if they have been catching anything or not. I don't really see how they would as muddy as the water has been, but you never know. I haven't had a chance to get out there yet due to working on my truck. I plan on hiting the water Mon and tues though.

    The levee roads are AGFC responsibilities. The east levee is definitely in bad shape. The county does grade it on occasion. They told us that it wouldn't help due to the limited amount of gravel. Before I left that district, we planned on filling the holes in with gravel until we could budget gravel for the whole east levee during the FY 14-15 year budget. I know this is only a quick fix but hopefully it will get fixed soon. The new Fisheries Supervisor has been made aware of it.

    The money for this actually comes from Marine Fuel Tax money generated from fuel sales at marinas.

    As for the crappie, we stocked it last fall and have requested it be stocked this fall.

    Limbhanger13 is correct about the pipe replacement!! It has been an ordeal and caused several gray hairs. The lake is less than 10 inches from normal level at the lake from what I was told last week. If we got some more rain, they will be able to pump and get the lake back to normal.
