Meeting at Holiday Lodge

Bennie said they are holding a meeting at Holiday Lodge concerning the 10" rule on Sardis. The public is invited. I got this second hand so I'm not sure of the date or time, but you can call Holiday Lodge and ask at 662-526-5392. I was told it concerned the dates and details about when this law comes into effect.

The regulation is already on the books. No time or date set yet. An hour drive for me, sit and listen to whinning for an hour, an hour drive back home.
I'll sit here and play with some brass and lead instead.

Who's hosting the meeting, Bill. MDWFP is hosting an informational meeting at the hatchery at Enid on Jan 31.

I don't think you'll hear much whining there. Most all of the business people are FOR the change. Benny said the 12" size almost put him out of business due to lack of interest from people not catching enough keepers in the summer when you would throw back 100 to keep 5-10. People just quit coming. At least that was my take, from what I heard, on the business owners opinions.

I understand what you are saying about the effect on business Bill, just wondering why the same effect hasn't forced a change at Butla or Enid? Why no changes there?

Might have something to do with Sardis having more pressure or it could be just to try it out and see how it works before doing the other three.....dunno......would be a good question to as for those going to the meetings and hearings on this.

Just called that number, Bill. No answer.

I hope that the new regs help the local business people. But I have a nagging feeling the it's the economy(price of gas and lodging) that's responsible for the drop in visitors.
