Announcing closure of Cland tailwaters

[Lowerider]

I'm out of town and posting off my phone but just learned a bad announcement is coming out tomorrow. PLZ make a call.

if you can call this # today 202 224 4944 its Lamar Alexander's Washington office. The Corp is announcing their plan tomorrow, once its announced it withll be all over

Called the number and spoke to curtis in Lamar's office in DC. He said Lamar is against it and he has sent a letter to the corps voicing his opinion. Keep calling and post other elected officials to call with contact info.

You can also get on facebook and go to corps page" nashville district" and voice your opinion. They will reply unless you talk about something they dont want to discuss

[Shellkat]

You have to click on post by. others to see posts other than the corps posts. There are about 20 now lets see how mant we can get on there. Act now or dont complain later.

Thanks guys. It's my understanding Lamar is the only/last hope. He's in charge of appropriations for the Corp. talk about a rushed decision.

Chances are tailwaters will be closed (at least for a while). I think a "million man boat cruise" below every affected dam will be order. Date TBD. Lets not go down without being heard!

Hey Lowrider where do you get info, I'm trying to stay up on this?

[peter]

I think it best to facebook, twiter,email and call your federal elected representatives in congress. That's where the Corps geta their money. I think Mitch Mcconnell would be a good one.

It really does have an effect when you voice your opinion to your elected official on an issue "like this"
Very easy to send an email too. Maybe do that instead of posting here today.

500 above and below no fishing zone, looka like a buay chain to keep you out

[Lowerider]

There are diagrams posted to Corp website. Looks like lock wall on all other areas downstream from Wolf.

Total BS!!!

Email your federal officials.

Man I have hundreds of 2 and 3 oz river sinkers to use up.
