Easy way you can make a difference for public access

[djkimmel]

Please check out MUCC's thorough latest Update on the Fight for Public Access on Eagle Lake. I could not make it there in person due to a bass season proposal meeting I needed to attend at the same time, but several GreatLakesBass.com members were there, and Duke made sure the two Michigan bass federation letters were in the official record, along with also speaking on behalf of his own group - www.randbbasscircuit.com.

The lake association has pushed for another appeal in front of the Ontwa Township zoning board of appeals - the group that voted down the last MDNR plan losing the prime property to the lake association group. We don't want that to stop the new (AND LAST) property available for a decent public access to the 2nd biggest lake in Cass County - along with access to 3 other nice lakes!

Several easy ways listed in the MUCC article that you can use to help get Michigan a too rare new public access site. Please read it and take 5 - 10 minutes to make a huge difference for Michigan fishing! Thank you!

As MUCC points out: A simple letter or email voicing your support for public access can go a long way in the fight for public access.

• Write to the Ontwa Township Planning Commission, PO Box 209, Edwardsburg, MI 49112
• Write a letter to the editor: Cassopolis Vigilant/Edwardsburg Argus, Michael Caldwell, publisher
• Send an email to a member of the Planning Commission or Township Board here.

I've attached both of the letters turned in by the Michigan bass federations.
