A month or so ago they voted to fund this project and complete it. The word then was that it would be finished by summer with an eye towards having a reasonable water level by next spring.
Are you guys aware of any progress on this? Is that schedule still viable?
The Craighead County Judge requested a meeting at the construction site with us concerning the lake. The meeting will be next Thursday (5/30). I will have some info after that meeting.
Awesome!!!!!!
Thanks for the info. I look forward to hearing the results of your meeting!

I'm looking forward to hearing what was discussed at today's meeting.
I have kept some pretty small fish, even by my standards, sometimes the river sodas skew your judgement.Quote:

Nothing at all wrong with that fish. I figure it will taste like crappie...or chicken. If I hook one that size in the gills, I won't hesitate to throw him in the cooler. Now that I think about it, if I hook him in the lips, tail, fins, or any other appendages...
That's one fish hungry dude right there.:biggrin
Sorry for the delay, I had to put down my four legged best friend yesterday afternoon.
I want to start out by saying up to this meeting, we got our information from the same sources as you all, the newspaper. We met with Judge Hill at the construction site yesterday (5/30) at 9. The judge discussed what was being done to complete the project. He said their target date of completing the dam is August 31. We voiced our concerns about a couple of issues. The conversation then went to habitat. We are going to go out there one day and mark areas around the lake for habitat. They will place trees that were knocked down during construction in those marked areas. I then brought up opening the lake up to the public once the construction is complete to place habitat wherever they wanted too. The judge liked that idea and we will see if that happens. We really hope they allow people to do that.
That about all I have about the meeting.
Sounds good Mojo.
Thanks for the report, Jeremy!Quote:

i hope rcc's memory is better than mine. i wrote him, maybe in a pm, and told him that i would furnish the quickcrete for x buckets for the deals. in exchange rcc was gonna show this old man how to run a gps and program in it the deals put out. due to health problems i won't be much if any help if they let us put out things for the fish. don't know how many you plan on putting out but i'll be good for 75 to more bags of quickcrete. i think home depot has it for round 2.00 a bag or so. this offer no longer good if i die so don't come after my estate.
Quick RCC get the quickcrete before olduckhunter kicks the bucket. :RoflQuote:
