Like many, I'm bored with reading what has become an argument. IMO there's two facts... some people bought property not knowing this lake or how it is operated and are stuck with the big surprize. The other thing is that theoretically conditions could be improved. Arguing over this crap isn't helping. The attitudes I've seen in the past few years have shocked me at times. I've seen people so anal that they are very inconsiderate of others. I've read attacks on local people who are very hard working and struggly to provide for their family soley because they are working on the side of the lake and the job site is not pretty enough for some people. Good grief! It's a job and construction gets nasty.. petty complaints and arguments that are really inconsiderate. I'm beginning to think it was much nicer and the people were much friendlier when it was just tents and shacks on the banks. I'm all for more consistent water levels but fact is that nature has something to do with it. This time of year we can expect floods and the water level should be quite low to allow the lake to catch the water. I've seen water at 516 in May... low levels this time of year is a good thing unless you like picking up all he trash that washes up on the bank and is pulled into the lake when the water level gets high then receeds. I'm sure I'll get a little bashing for this post.. I did last time I had much to say about anything. All I can say is that if you're too good for this lake or the people on this lake then why the hell did you buy property here? This is a beautiful place with lots of wonderful people around and some are going to make a buck providing you with whatever you're willing to spend your money for.
