If no one has scheduled the cabin's use, then day utilization can be used by all. Please call if you wish to reserve the cabin for your private use. When you need a break from the heat or rain, it is a good place to stay. All maintenance and repairs will be done by the members who use it. The plumbing works but the water is from the well and not approved to drink. All electrical appliances will be turned off when you leave. Trash will be removed and taken with you when you leave. As long as all members share their responsibility, the Cabin will be left for members' use.

With the help of two members, Jeff Stagg and Adam Alvarado, we released the Tiger Bass: 06/01/2006. Thanks to the special financial contributions of Terry Malloy ( Action Box Company, - Company Member) and Richard Kauth, long time member, we have new Genes for our Lakes. )

Matt has busted his "..." and emptied most of the water in the pool. He has removed the deposits and prepared the pool for next years Coppernose recipients.  Hundreds of large Sunfish have been moved to Swan Lake. All of the special Tiger Bass in the pool are now in swan. The Pool will be a Coppernose Sunfish only area for 2007. 5 new Martin Houses were installed to cut down on flying insects.

March, 2007 Matt finished the piers on Duck and Eagle. He is, and has, raked channels on many lakes to give ambush areas for the fish and the fishermen.

On April 20th we stocked 200#'s plus of Fathead Minnows in Eagle. March 2007 brought chemical control to the pest vegetation.
 
In December, 2007, Matt emptied pool, moved thousands of Coppernose to Martin, Swan, Eagle, and Goose Lakes, Cleaned, refilled pool and began to stock Bream for the Tiger Bass from Eagle Lake, to have food when moved to the pool in 2008. 
John Onofrey's rest station has been installed between Eagle and Goose Lakes. Thanks to contributions by Action Box and Jeff Stagg we have five more loads of washed concrete placed between Eagle and Goose Lakes; Will finish towards entrance of Property.
 
February 2008- Removed leaking pipes from Goose Lake and began building out N.E. curve of lake. Trenched bad road between Dove and Duck to drain open area and began building road to the same height as Dove and Duck levees. Removed all brush trees from Quail, Hawk, and Eagle Lakes. We will soon rebuild water edges on Dove to remove Cypress stumps and grade to a less steep angle. As we receive the funds we will attempt to address all lakes in this manner.



We have accomplished a lot to the property in the last 11 + years  and will work toward correcting all that is necessary. Please continue with your suggestions and we will address them as we receive new funds to cover these projects.

Thanks for your support
