Need some help here.

Dave,

I agree with a lot of what you say. As a fisherman, I kind of like the draw down beginning in July as it will limit a little of the recreational boat traffic. However that being said, we should discuss this on the discussion/discussion board, and no matter how thin the bread is, there are always two sides to every piece of toast. You cited all the positives for the drawdown, but what about the positives for leaving the water up? There have to be some. I would also think the "grass" in the lake would probably be aided by the longer grwoing period afforded by the level staying up.

Just a thought.

Let's move the thread where it belongs, and let's keep the discussion going.

Also Dave, do you have a link to the report on the study? I'd like to read it and form my own decision before I contact a legislative body and request any kind of action.

Thanks Dave.

Danny

PS, I noticed the discusion/discussion board was not moved here, and one does not exist. So, this is where the post should be. I would still like to see the originial report if anyone knows how to access it??

Thanks,

Danny

Here is a link to the latest Evrinomental Assessment released by the COE in June 2006 vs this proposed change to the seasonal drawdown. It includes excerpts from the TVA ROS study of 2004. It pretty much says it all. After reading this there should be no doubt in your mind who would benefit from an extended period of high water and just who and what would suffer:

As far as this post being moved anywhere...I disagree. This legislation would have a direct adverse influence on the sport fish populations of Ky/Barkley.

Dave

It is a long document and but is worth reading.

Don't move it we need all the help we can get and most of the traffic is here, if you fish the lakes and love the buck brush please call Rep Whitfield

[Danny]

Thanks Dave.

Also if you and VMaxx noticed, I edited it and said not to move it... no where to move it to.

I appreciate the link... I'll not only begin reading, but finish it, and book mark it.

Thanks again,

Danny

Hi Danny and Dave, Can,t get the link to work. I have tried typeing the addrest it and ENTER- Have tried two different serch engins still won't work. no typeing error on my end There are three of us that have tried any advice???

[Dave Stewart]

You may be typing in the bracket and url that preceeds and follows at the end of the link. For some reason these show up on this board when copying and pasting a link...drop these and give it a try..should work for you.

I don't know why those brackets show up. I'll check into it.

It's a bug. Gotta live with it for now.

Peter:
go into the Adm control panel and set things up to allow HTML posting. That's why the brackets are there. This new forum's programming is designed to allow us to post links and the link is automatically bracketed.

That just the way the HTLM language works.

Anything that starts with a www. or a http:// may get the brackets put around the entire link.

url = universal resource locator ???

check the FAQ section for more information on the use of url and img and brackets.

I don't know why those brackets show up. I'll check into it.

Thanks for the catch on the brackets and url or copying and pasteing to sites , thought i was doing something wrong but that solves the problem.

[Danny]

Glad you got it. It is a 48 page .pdf document which is an adobe file. You can save the file to your computer and then read it at your leisure.

I think this is a good discussion, i too would like to know if there is any benefits to leaving the lake levels up longer, like would it bring the grass back faster?
