Here's what I wrote to Medicine Hat Fish and Game today. It's just a thought, but I think it would be great!!
"Hello,I am writing to you about Cavan Lake. I've been a resident and a fisherman here in Medicine hat my entire life, a little better than 40 years. I was wondering if the possibility of making Cavan Lake a "Quality Fishery" such as Bullshead Reservoir has ever been discussed? I have just got off the phone with Terry Clayton from the Lethbridge office of Fish and Wildlife. Terry had suggested I contact you as they would be more willing to look at the change to Cavan if the issue was brought forth by a committee such as Medicine Hat Fish and Game. I know in the past the lake has almost dried up, but I think a large part of that was due to irrigation drainage. Terry had also said that at some point, someone was trying to organize a fund raiser to purchase the irrigation rights to Cavan, in which case, the lake would be much more sustainable even in years of drought. I would be more than willing to donate to the cause if the irrigation rights could be purchased by your club. I truly believe another quality fishery around Medicine Hat would be fantastic, and at the same time, take the immense pressure off of Bullshead.
I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for your time."
What do you guys think?? Yes...no???
