I haven't heard of that. They did have a heated dock yeaars ago but it burnt down and was never rebuilt. As far as I know, the docks are strictly for those who rent slips.
No public fishing allowed. You have to rent a slip to be able to fish anywhere below the hill.
Redbud leased addition distance around there dock maybe 300 ft. so you can not fish even close to there docks. I will not buy anything from them. Hope this doe not spread to other lakes!!!
I thought Oolagah was an Army Corp Lake. If it is then the alleged leasing of additional footage around the docks may be in question, legally. As the Army Corp would have to be the lessor. I guess checking with the Corp Office would answer the question.
2 or 3 years back I asked one of the park Rangers about this very thing and he told me they didn't have the man power to enforce it, for what it's worth.
Not sure what they enforce? The illegal extension of non fishable footage, if it exists, or that the Redbud Marina Owner over stepped in attempting to privatize public water.Quote:

How do you fight someone who s trying to block everyone out of his fishing hole on a PUBLIC LAKE?????
How about starting with our US Congressman and US Senator, after determining the lease is still in effect. This is the same as leasing part of Yellowstone for private use. Unheard of.
Same thing at other places too
well that's too bad. I was hoping to be able to take my 3 yr old daughter there so I didn't have to fuss with her in the boat. Not a lot of kid friendly places for fishing this time of year where you can actually catch a crappie from the bank.
even if they had a day use fee, I'd pay it to not have to hassle with my boat. Business opportunity for them if they would. I don't see why they wouldn't open a new heated dock, or even an unheated one. I'd still pay the day use fee. I go to Bernice over on grand lake a few times every winter. $4 or $6 for 24 hours, Seems fair for the comfort and convenience. I see 5-10 people on average when I'm there. Seems like it could be a good way to make the Marina extra cash.
Reaper, was that you who was yelling at me from your truck going down 169 a few weeks ago between Oologah and Talala?
If you had the C.C sticker on it, yes. You looked at me like I was crazy. (I am) Take your Daughter to the Indian Springs or (Indian Hills) heated dock over in Bernice. It's a pretty good dock and it's really not that far from Nowata.Quote:

Reaper, sorry I just wasn't expecting someone randomly pointing out my C.C sticker going down the highway :) Do you live around Nowata? Maybe we can haul some in sometime.Quote:
