    Default Wildcat Brake


    So, I loaded up and headed to Wildcat. My head was full of big, fancy dreams. I saw me pulling a box full of slabs from all the trees back there. The road in was blocked with barrels and a warning sign telling me that there was an electrical hazard there. Being a law breaker by nature, I considered going on through, but I also don't care much for the idea of being electrocuted. Good sense won for a change, and I turned around.

    Anybody know what electrical hazard they got back there? I've fished Wildcat when the lake level was much higher than it is now, so this has to be a new issue, right?

    Thank you for the reply. And that was my thought too. If there was an electrical hazard there, what was the safe distance from it?

    I was told they have to raise the lake to 8’ over full pool and float a barge back there to repair the line and the light pole

    Everything thing is an event when you get the government involved or any local engineers. Most were held back a few grades, not their fault I reckon.. Wildcat Brake
