In time Erin, don't think they can do anything until winter pool comes back around and seriously doubt they will do an early drawdown due the the CM Championship here in September. They got the road blocked at 330 with dump truck loads of dirtQuote:

I live about 5 miles from that bridge and fish out of Scuna/Turkey, Choctaw and Gums 5 or 6 months out of the year but not this year. I'll use Bryant but the water is in the parking lot there so may have to unload in the ditch!! Tin boat has it's place and I may be wishing I had one this year.Quote:

Rees, a few year back at a CM Classic Tournament, I remember they were pulling the lake hard for a Dam repair. They didn't care about the that tournament then? Do you think they will now? Hope so but I doubt they do...Quote:

This road is on a state aide road and hopefully the state will declare it an emergency and fully fund it. It is election year and that will play a part, I hate politics.Quote:

Politics may be what gets the bridge repaired faster. Lol
