Ok, we can fight each other here about it or pester them into doing something about it. I started a website for the cause. It is www.opensquawcreek.com. If you really want to fight to get this awesome fishery open again go there and register. There is not much there now because it is new. With the help of like minded people we can at least show them we are organizing to do battle with them. At the very least make them take out the fish we paid for to stock in local lakes. If you go there just to say "You're wasting your time" don't bother joining.

The best way to get TXU to open it is show them a way it will allow them to give a bigger bonus to their top execs and lay off more people. If you could figure out a way to tie that into opening the lake we could fish there tomorrow.

That lake is prime habitat, why don't they get in enrolled in operation world record program that some of the smaller city lakes are getting into now. If the place starts producing trophies they could start charging major $$$ at the boat ramps just like the city of lubbock does at alan henry. I mean people come all the way from colorado to fish alan henry, TXU has a major financial opportunity just sitting there and they are doing nothing with it.

Here is a link to my website if anyone really wants to switch from TXU to Stream Energy. Not trying to use this post as a way to get customers to switch over but I switched over about 2 years ago and have been very pleased with Stream, with the deregulation laws Streams rates will always be lower than TXU. http://www.jasonmorris.igniteinc.biz/index.asp . Actually I signed up as an associate so I could switch others over. I have never fished Sqaw Creek but sure would like to one day!

If you think switching electric companies is going to hurt TXU, think again. They make their money making the electricity. They don't care who does the billing. They got caught last summer of keeping some plants off line to raise the cost of electricity. The Public Utility Commission is fining them $210,000,000 and they are threatening the State with shutting down plants that are not profitable. This will cause problems with the state power grid this summer, causing brown out conditions. If they are willing to take on the State of Texas what makes you think they will bow to a bunch of fishermen??

Yeah whats really bad about that is that it was the public that was overcharged by TXU--The PUC may fine TXU $210 million but do you think that money is going to be distributed to the people that were overcharged?? No it will go back to the state and then TXU will raise our rates to compensate for the lost revenue.

Another reason why de-regulation was a bad idea, I hope TXU keeps acting like a spoiled child and the state re-regulates their a$$.

O K I'm new here and new at this computer thang but here goes nuthin'. I was under the understanding that Squaw Creek was closed due to a nuclear spill on 9/10/01. My thoughts are, that if thats the case why not at least open the lake with catch and release only. I aint scarred. I aint havin any more kids!
Don't look at the glass as half full or half empty. Look at it as a normal portion of water in a container that's too big.  <'))))<

Tony, it has nothing to do with a nuclear spill on 9/10/01.
It has to do with the idiotic terrorist attack on 9/11.
They think that a nuclear power plant lake is a prime terrorist target...

If you are interested in re-opening Squaw Creek, you should
partner up with Scuba organisations. I used to dive at
this lake every weekend in the mid eighties. It was also
used as a teaching and certification lake by a lot
of Scuba schools.

I remember every time I was there, folks were diving, and how slick that dog gone ramp was. Man, I miss that lake. I had some good mmemories there. Bass, Catfish and Crappie. Oh well we still got Aquilla and Whitney and Granbury and P. K. And the memories. God bless America.

Not trying to offend anyone here, but just accept the reality. As long as they think there is a threat they are not going to open this lake!!!! Quit all the whining and just go fish another lake. I think the great state of Texas has plenty of lakes with trophy fish in them. You can only beat a dead horse so long until people get tired of hearing it. Just my .02 worth.

You're right, we shouldn't complain as they take our lakes from us as long as they leave a couple for us to put a boat on. Don't whine either as they take our hiways from us, sell them to a foreign country and charge us to drive on them.

Tired of hearing it? Quit reading the posts about it. When do you decide what can and can't be discussed on here? If you just accept things and never voice opinion, you will get walked all over your whole life. And.....threat my rear! Excuse! Excuse! Excuse!
