I understand that the original purpose for the refuge was for waterfowl.
However, in 1985 the mission statement for the refuge was changed to include the purpose for use as a fishery.
And regardless; when they start spending TAX PAYERS money on creating, improving, stocking, etc. for a fishery then they don't get to blow smoke up my a$$ about it being "strickly for waterfowl"!!! And until everyone quits swallowing this line of BS that the management is presenting to all of us "uneducated coonasses" (this is what the management thinks we are) and holds someone accountable for not sticking to the Comprehensive Conservation Plan that they released a few years ago (which by the way includes managing the pool for fishing) then the management of the refuge will continue to mismanage the pool and do whatever they feel like doing. And everyone says they want to do something-- but when they were having those public comment meetings during the formulation period for the CCP the same 30-35 of us showed up for each meeting-All that showed them was that Not enough people were interested in what they were doing for them to give a rip!!!
