Jeesh Daryl a little thin skinned.Did you read my post I know that we cant get rid of the carp.I never said anyone should be fired.When I was in my teens in the late 70's early 80's I worked at the game and parks in North platte banding ducks and helping at the spawning ponds so I do know a little about what B.S goes on.I t gets old watching what is done to the lakes and fisheries in this state and being fed a line of B.S about what the agenda is.What boat ramps did they have do drain the lakes down Pelican at the east end,Dewey dosent control Pelican.The east end of Hackberry Iwas there the days they were working on it and all the boards were in Dewey then.BLAH BLAH BLAH Go fish I'll see you out there remember catch and release.
Now wait a minute. You have been telling me that water levels on all the refuge lakes are connected/related, but now you say that dropping levels on one lake would not necessarily reduce levels on the other. I keep telling you what I know, you either ain't listening or don't want to hear. Water levels were low last summer on the Valentine Refuge lakes because of the drought. Period. Water levels were also manipulated for boat ramp work on Pelican, Dewey, Hackberry and Clear.
Thin skinned? Believe me, if I were thin-skinned I would have given up on discussions like this a long, long time ago. You have intimated again and again that I do not have a clue what I am doing, that myself and other fisheries biologists are not doing our jobs. I know that I will never convince someone like yourself that has all the answers, but you keep pitching 'em, I will keep hitting 'em. There are lots of other folks out there reading, and learning.
