I am sorry...but I don't see one reference to Missouri here. This came out of Flippin Arkansas. These lakes border on Missouri but this is Arkansas propaganda not Missouri.

I left a little out Steve. The tourism group this came from is based in Arkansas but it is a joint group from both states.

What wasn't true?

What wasn't true?

"This will be a great relief to the Lake Cumberland sportsmen who were warned by Kentucky Commerce Secretary George Ward that as many as 90 percent of Lake Cumberland launching ramps will be unusable," he said they may be unusuable, but that many ramps could be extended, not that they would be unusuable.


"while Corps engineers are predicting fish kills because of a rise in water temperature." Nobody to my knowledge ever predicted a fish kill, they predicted if we got an unusually wet spring, water tepmeratures "could rise" and bring on a fish kill."

"Unlike Lake Cumberland, we have an abundance of water at our Ozark Twin Lakes," Kelly Linck, Executive Director of the Ozark Mountain Region tourism association.Even at 680 feet, there is still plenty of water.

Sounds a lot like what a guy from Blood River on KY Lake was trying to tell people back at the Jim Strader show. Another person without the facts. Of course this guy owned a resort on KY Lake and had never heard of Dave Stewart, so I realized he wasn't knowledgeable.

Ramps are at a premium and are making an impact to fishing. The Dept HAS made mention they are concerned of a fish die-off of larger stripers. I heard them with my own two ears. As for the "abundance of water, speak to those local residents that now have dry wells.

KDFWR has made mention of the possibility of a fish die off, but they certainly aren't predicting it. There are way to many factors that could influence that.

As for the abundance of water, I didn't say that..... the people from the Ozarks said they have an abundance of water. At 680 there is still more water than other lakes around the state.

my main point is they are trying to use scare tactics and spread misinformation to try and take advantage to bring more income to their area.
