The Back Of Big Indian

On another positive note, I see the cover where some guys were fishing. It was interesting to see a boat fly in, fish an isolated spot for about 30 minutes, haul butt to the next spot & fish there & then hit another then leave the area.. Hopefully they are fishing their high percentage spots.. With me- when im fishing a spot, EVERYWHERE ELSE looks better than where im at- no matter how many times I move.. LOL !

Martin...you are right about the correct names for "North Indian Creek" vs. "Big" and "Little" Indian Creek in the Baxter area. No amount of fines (which they will never collect a single dollar of) can remediate that infusion of silt that continues with every gully washer. Wonder how many spawing banks it has already covered ?

Billfo...Kind of an eye-opener isn't it about submerged timber becoming exposed with lower water levels ? I keep seeing skiers and tubers getting towed right over the tops of barely submerged pole timber and praying that no one get's seriously injured.

The erosion from that ill-advised Indian Ridge development is really screwing up North Indian but we have another type of run-off in the Big Indian area. It's from all the cattle country that Big Indian drains to the South in Arkansas. Between the Lake and the Boston Mountains to the South there is heavy use of the land for both cattle ranching and concentrated chicken production and much of that area drains into Big Indian.

Blatant abuse of OUR resources and state laws, deserves maximum punishment. No doubt the filing of the lawsuit prompted the temporary fix that's finally being done.

I'm sure some property owners get nit picked to death with some of the laws, and that's a shame, but this one shocks the conscience.

I forgot who started this post but thank you for keeping us informed.
