under new management.

Squaw Creek was a power plant lake that got shut down after 9/11, guess you know what kinda of power plant is was.

    Squaw Creek was one of those special lakes in Texas that you haven't heard about cause they closed the lake to everyone due to possible terrorist target.

   In the mean time, Gov. Rick Perry decided since it was closed to the public, that he decided to sell all the land to the power company, which meant the lake is no longer public also.

  Which upset alot of taxpayers.   It was our funds who created and stocked this hidden jewel.

After all these years, its gonna re-open, and to those from Socal, its kinda like Barret opening up after being closed for years and years. 

  Squaw was another one of those lakes created when I was gone in the Navy and I haven't had the chance to fish it yet, but have heard about it for years.

well Matt, don't hold your breath. It will be by a lottery system and care to guess who will be allowed to sign up. We have as much chance as before to get on the water.

FYI, it wasn't actually closed(Except to public fishing), if you had the connections you could fish it. It was just a public lake closed to the public. Special employees and dignitaries had the chance to fish it. It was a perk for the higher ups and their friends.

That conversation of who is fishing our waters, "ours" being tax paying fishermen come up once a month.

   I don't see how Perry could sell that behind the publics back, but he got away with it.

    THat lottery has been a center of conversation for alot of us.

   Truthfully, for years, I wanted nothing more than to fish this lake at least once.   

  Still like to, but not pressing as it was.   

I intend to try myself if they ever turn it loose.
