Call the county to have it removed! Great place for the kids to fish.

Can't the geese just fly onto their lawns?

They can't fly when they are molting. And, when they can fly, it's more work than they typically like to do.

The fences work. IMHO, a shotgun would work better.

Just received a phone call from the parks dept the fencing will be removed prior to fishing season.

Any further details on the fence removal??I think the intension was to copy the planting work done on upper echo lake....In that case the shoreline will become almost inaccessible....If the fencing and plantings are to keep the geese from walking out of the water and onto ppls lawns, than why put the fencing on the ENTIRE perimeter?? maybe they will take it down on the opposite side, adjacent to the woods and ball fields....

taught myself to bass fish at that place in the late eighties and early nineties..
My folks still live in unioin county, moved out almost 20 yrs ago so the fishing I do there is limited to when I visit them....hope it all gets straightened out fer the kids fishin derby

Fences are coming down today.

Received a reply to my phone call to the parks dept on thursday of last week that they would be coming down starting this week.

Thanks Union County Parks.

Maybe they will only remove them on that far side that there workin on in the pic?? makes sense to me as no body lives on that side....maybe ill check it out later in the week....Thanks fer the up to the minute updates guys
