There's a single word to describe the effort you want to undertake. Quixotic.
Just kidding. Look up your local KDFWR biologist and see where he/she stands on the issue. A claim that a slot is needed will carry more weight with some science behind it. Try to get the local KDFWR folks to ask for it. Find out when/where the next KDFWR meeting is being held and go to it. You can write letters, but that won't really do any good. Having the backing of an organization helps too. The KBF's conservation director is intimately familiar with the workings of the KDFWR, I'll be glad to put you in contact with him if you'd like.
Out of curiosity, what lake are you talking about?
