Water Solution?

[okiebug]

Stumbled across this the other day, thought you guys might find it interesting. Not sure on the details but it looks like the LIR could have some much needed help coming. Here is the link http://www.ktul.com/...tenkiller-trout

This is potentially the best news in a long time for the LIR tailwater.

Article starts off very rough, obviously the writer knows nothing about how lakes and tailwaters work, or have issues, and that the trout live in the river below not the lake above.

Would be a great help if organized clubs and individuals would write letters and emails to the SWPA, USACE and ODWC to thank them for their collaborative and collective work, and encourage them to maintain a sense of urgency to work thru this to resolution.

This has happened thankfully. At least there is a temporary solution for now or all the fish would have died a couple months ago like last year

If you have the specifics on the names of who to write letters to and addresses I will do so ASAP and pass it along to others.

Great news and thanks for sharing!

Here is a link to a pretty good article on this from the Tulsa World earlier this month.

I don't know all the right contact info for that area, but I would suggest starting with Jim Burroughs, the Supervisor of their regional office.

He has been involved in the LIR issues, and probably still is, and my limited communication with him several years ago was extremely helpful and cordial.

I believe he could help you with the names and contact info for the right folks to reach out to at the other agencies.

Please post when you find out, I will certainly do my part to rally support, too.

Thanks for your support, TTITD!
