Flood watch

[Feathers and Fins]

When it comes to management of the COE lakes its Flood Control first and Power second nothing else third. After speaking to people who attended the meetings on the Master Lake Plans for Beaver recently they all had the same impression which was; "We must take public input but you are wasting your time and ours because we are not changing anything"

I hope those people were wrong but when it comes to government agencies the least amount always seems to be the path most traveled. If they really cared they would listen to the Public and Game and Fish and try to work together to improve Recreation within the primary use guidelines. It is no secret that I believe they should make No Wake zones in ANY cove/creek-arm where standing timber could be hazardous or where Wakes could damage shoreline or docks. Also with the growing population in NW Arkansas they need to repair boat ramps or improve them even put in a few new ones and on other COE lakes make sure the ones they have stay open and maintained.

Finley took a pretty good rise. This is yesterday about 5:00 at the old Riverside Bridge.
