I'll call my friend Rich this morning and find out and hopefully get to the bottom of this.......I really hope it's not true....was there on Saturday morning in the rain, caught a few walleye and bass , and didn't see any signs of closing....No chains,stantions,warning signs...nothing out of the ordinary.......been hearing this for a while now.....I actually heard from a very reliable source that next year all fishing , hunting, and camping priveledges were going to be taken away as the city of Newark was selling the properties and the new owners, whoever they are, didn't want the responsibilities and liabilities....If this is true, we have to petition the state and show our support for these properties....I'm not really sure how to go about this besides writing or calling Fish and game....any suggestions?.....Hold off until i try to get answers......Look for a new post within a few hrs.....Have a great day!
