Thread: Management of lake Conway or lack there of.

We pay a launch fee each year of what $30? where does that money go? I wouldn't mind paying $50 a year if it went into better fish cleaning stations like at Blue Mtn say, its a nice one. They could put a little into re-stocking say every 2 or 3 years, they could fix up some of the campsites, some are nice yet others need work. With lakes like Blue Mtn and White Oak being down recently they should've took advantage and spent way more Money fixing them up. One of my favorite lakes over in OK, that Pine Creek Lake still has dam problems????? They were supposed to fix it like 3 or 4 years ago???? Yet now they say it can't even reach back to Normal or they'll release water cause dams still in the red???? It just now got back up enough to open boat ramps back up and their campsites in some parks stink. Other lakes here in AR are the same way in need of work. I've even seen the local fisherman putting out old tires cause they don't have anything to beach their boats up on??? Every tire shop around these days keeps the old tires so they can't be that hard for the G&F or Corps to drag down to the ramps and cable them off???

speaking out on g&f facebook &other site would help,most all the land and homeowners i talk to all still complain about not enough water for the boat houses. hey guru yeah i know how being busy is and i know you know this lake like the back of your hand. gonna find out if the g&f would be willing to pay someone on the weekend,im thinking so they just want someone else to do it. that statement that g&f dont want to get caught with their pants down is right on,and this is overkill precaution for lake conway. g&f can open all the gates1-2 days before predicted heavy rain and dump out a foot you know provided the river is not way up. its not rocket science!

I will look up the name of the bill tomorrow at work and would be glad to share the information with any one that wants it.

Pass info I be glad to call them. I hate when they get there cushy jobs and don't care if they grow the wildlife/fish

Electing commissioners would be much worse. The majority of voters don't hunt and lots don't fish. It would be easy for peta to soon have control and do away with hunting and fishing. Look how the last election turned out! Think before you get something you don't want.

Amen, Gomer.

We sure don't want them elected. Good Ole Boys are in the serious minority these days. And everyone votes.

I was told we had the best in the states. I did not vote for them. I was told every 4 years you get a new one

They are indeed better than a lot of states. Ask their citizens.

But they have flaws, for sure. Some are glaring.

You get ONE new one EVERY year. There are 7, serve 7 years, one is due to step down each year.
