Wildcat Brake

So, I loaded up and headed to Wildcat. My head was full of big, fancy dreams. I saw me pulling a box full of slabs from all the trees back there. The road in was blocked with barrels and a warning sign telling me that there was an electrical hazard there. Being a law breaker by nature, I considered going on through, but I also don't care much for the idea of being electrocuted. Good sense won for a change, and I turned around.

Anybody know what electrical hazard they got back there? I've fished Wildcat when the lake level was much higher than it is now, so this has to be a new issue, right?

Thank you for the reply. And that was my thought too. If there was an electrical hazard there, what was the safe distance from it?

I was told they have to raise the lake to 8’ over full pool and float a barge back there to repair the line and the light pole

Everything thing is an event when you get the government involved or any local engineers. Most were held back a few grades, not their fault I reckon.. [emoji23]

In Water Valley. I think it's the east end of enid. Maybe the southeast. 🤷*♂️

The COE report all roads and ramps are open except Bluford Rd. Where is Bluford Rd?

That's new to me.

COE report: Water Valley Landing will be closed so TVA can remove their equipment from the lake. Didn't say how long.

All I can find in the airport/wildcat out to Longbranch and Chickasaw Hill area are county road numbers.

I'm missed that report. I'm going to drive out that way today and look around.

**Update**

Water Valley Boat Ramp is open again to the public. For more information, please contact the Enid Lake Field Office at 662-563-4571.

That's cool. Thanks for letting us know. I didn't get a chance to check it out.
