well fellas about 15-16 years ago you wernt alowed to put any motors over i think it was 90 hp, a rule that had been in effect since the beginning of the lake and i went in front of the council to see about changing the rule to allowing bass boats with up to 200hp to be added. at first they literly laughed at me! until i proved to them that a 16 ft runabout with a 40 hp motor would make a wake as large if not larger than the new baass boats of today! also got fish and wildlife invovled to look at restucturing the limits on the lake and i think then is when fish and wild life took over the lake ! i remember going out with the officers while they shocked the lake to see some of there conclusions ,and back then the shad was overpopulated! and were goin to put hybrid stripers in lake to combat that problem, but i dont think they ever followed thru with that! until recently. at the same time thats when the council decided they would pump water to the river into the lake! what an idea!

i think if the council would vote to spend a lil on the lake cleaninit up to make it more appealin ,ppl wouldnt trash it! they have let trees grow all up around the roads and the dam , which will prolly cause some major problems down the road , anyhow they have allowed silt and mud to accumalate at the ramp , which should be cleaned out they should really address some real problems but the ppl on the council are not fisherman or outdoor ppl and cant apreciate what they have for ppl of this comminity! i got more on this subject! but ill quit!
