I was just talking to a buddy of mine with TWRA about this less than 5 minutes ago. Funny timing.

He said they are taking it over July 1. Probably hiring a full time manager closer to September or something.

Was up there Sunday. First time I had ever been. We caught 6 small bass and 1 big shell cracker. Nice looking place and some real nice houses around it.

Where will revenue come from without user fees?

I understand not charging sportsmans license holders like most other TWRA lakes


From what I understand, over half of the people that has used it for years didn't pay their fees but at least some did

From what I heard, there will likely be day use fees at a later date.

I'm guessing maybe the same lake permit as the rest of the family fishing lakes. $6 a day, $50 a year(or whatever it is now).

i imagine since the state owns it funding will come out of the state budget. tdot said they werent going to fix any more roads anyway so might as well toss the money in the lake.

It is.
It used to be alot better than it is now though.
Too many people with zero regards to the rules and ZERO law enforcement killed it.
To make it worse, I didn't know it till after the fact but the management of the lake posted on facebook that due to it being a "watershed authority" the twra could not enforce the rules there.

I didn't know there was any body of water or land they couldn't enforce rules / laws on?
Anyway there ya go.
