Spring Bass Tournament Will Take Place on March 10, 2012

Because of the very low lake levels, we have not been sure if the tournament would take place. However, we have received sufficient rainfall to go forward with the Annual Spring Bass Tournament.

When: Saturday March 10

Time: Start at 6:45 A.M. End 3:00 P.M.

Weigh-in: NK 20 Pier

Fishermen must be in weigh-in line when the horn is sounded to end the tournament. We will follow this rule without exception. Please be in line on time.

Late registration will be Friday 6:00 to 7:00 P.M. at CWC Office.

We regret the very short notice of the tournament but we had to wait until the tournament could be held safely. Registration forms will be in the March issue of the Chatter and at late registration. We expect large stringers to be brought to the weigh-in this year. Come and join in the fun!

FUEL CENTER

Due to low water levels, the Fuel Center is CLOSED until further notice!

The CWC Fuel Center no longer accepts cash. Purchases will be on a credit card or debit card basis only. Well over ninety percent of the purchases are by card anyway, and the accounting and handling of cash represents an unnecessary burden, expense and responsibility for the attendants and the administration.

Due to low water level the fuel center is closed until further notice!
Call the fuel center @ 903/643-3590.

New Building Permit Procedures

In order to avoid delays, contractors, builders and shareholders preparing for construction projects should contact the CWC office and arrange to receive the new forms and procedures for construction activities on the lake. The new process and forms place greater controls on construction and require additional inspections during the project. No increases in permit fees are anticipated, and the forms are one page and simple. We can fax, mail or email them to you or you can pick them up at the office. The changes are in effect now.
