Given the conservation/environmental occupations of many of this groups members I'm wondering if anyone is working on this project? There are lots of details if you click through to the master plan. Just curious how this can impact fishing access...I think overall it will be beneficial to the fishery, but it's more a question of access.

Thanks,

David

The area circled is currently posted with "Designated pot smoking area - permit required July-September" signs and sees a lot of use from local teenagers in my experience.  

I suspect flooding it to restore some of the SAV will both look nice and force kids to smoke pot somewhere else -- which is a win-win to me ;).  

Thanks for sharing -- I wasn't aware of it.

Gene, 

Do you think SAV will be viable there with the discharge effluent? 

Was out last evening and didn't see a single non baitfish fish.

Man, I don't know. It would be nice since to see! Hey, it probably beats a lot of the things they might otherwise do with the money...like putting in a carousel and/or some other scrap metal (accotink!). Boo! ;)

Thanks for the report too. I may hit the park instead...or check the old boat for leaks.
