DREDGING MAP

Several people have asked what and where will dredging be this year. The Conservancy let a contract for "mid-coves" on Sweetwater Lake. The dredging won't begin until late summer. (September) The spoils will be added to the area across from Sweetwater beach.

FIRE DEPARTMENT GARAGE SALE

It's the social event of the Spring! The annual fire department garage sale is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th beginning at 8:00 AM. Donations and pick-ups can be handled on April 19th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

SIGNS OF SPRING

The Martins arrived on Wednesday of this week and my Martin house that I recently installed near the Sweetwater gas dock has inhabitants. Another good sign of better weather to come.

NEW FISHING RULES

At the April 15h, 2014 Cordry Sweetwater Conservancy Board Meeting, new fishing regulations were read and passed by the board. A limit of 25 bluegill and/or sunfish per person is now the rule. Historically, there were several fishermen who were coming in and filling up their coolers with up to 300 fish per visit! The depletion of small feeder fish is potentially affecting the size and number of larger fish in the lakes. In other business, 6 members were added to the security commission, updates on the new and old office buildings, and numerous building permits were OK'd by the board.

LARRY'S BOAT SERVICE

Larry Harder's Pontoon Boat Service has been sold to a new operator. The name remains Larry's Boat Service and the new number is 317-459-1803.

COMING DOWN

The old Cordry Sweetwater Conservancy Office is quickly coming down. Only vacated on Wednesday, demolition began the next day!

HIGH WATER!

Approximately 5 inches of rain fell in slightly more than a 24 hour period beginning on April 3rd, 2014. Both lakes above regular pool level. Sweetwater Always seems to flood at higher levels....I believe because the spillway outlets are the same size for different sized lakes. Didn't we just have snow last week! Pictured are the docks at Sweetwater Launch Ramp.
