Saving a local lake. They drained it 6 years ago for dam repairs and I feel as though it may be on the back burner so long that they just let it go back into woods. It's only about 60 acres but it's our only close lake to fish. I've talked to a few ODNR and DOW guys and they are all great guys and are very helpful.
My question is, what would be the best way to go about saving it? I'm thinking maybe a letter to the editor of our local paper to drum up support and maybe writing letters to the ODNR Chief and our State Reps. Any ideas would be appreciated!!

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I recall you posting about it before but I don't remember which one? They are fixing Tycoon and Veto lakes this summer. DOW got some money to help clears it's 100m+ capital improvement backlog last year.

They have been saying they are gonna fix it but every year they say something else came up. The last one was Buckeye Lake I believe.

Post where you can on social media you get a lot of bang for your buck there start with who ever has a finger in the pie and work your way up if you hit a roadblock find out who writes their checks and keep going to the top. Find out who does the PR and work with them. If all that fails do a letter to the editor in the local papers then. Be nice until it’s time to not be nice.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Start your own protest! Fish Lives Matter! No Lake No Peace! Burn down a lake or two (this is Ohio afterall) ought to get some media involved.

I had an idea the other day, I thought how cool it would be to make a mosquito net cover with drawstring or elastic to keep it on and spend a night sleeping in it on a lake. A guy should be able to lay down in it fairly comfortably on a sleeping mat and sleeping bag as long as he's not swatting bugs all night. Used it a couple times since I got it, but not since I've painted it. Used a canoe paddle, but plan on trying it with a kayak paddle to see if I like that better.

Thanks Sniper, I belong to OSTA but that's it locally. I will check out the SA. The manager I spoke with the other day said there are no set dates for anything as of right now. They basically put everything on hold from how I understood him.
