[QUOTE="PiedmontGuy, post: 3226749, member: 31405"] As far as wading in those OKC lakes, sometimes it can get hot wearing waders, so I used a garage sale pair of used hip waders that I got for cheap and I cut a slit in them right above the soles so the water could get in the hip waders and keep me cool. When I was exiting the water, the last couple of steps I just slowed down enough so the water leaked back out before I completely got on dry land. I never had an issue with the lake patrol, but that was 30+ years ago. When they had stopped me once and saw I had a lifetime H/F license and the annual permit, they nodded their heads at me and kept on driving the next time. I was only a mile away from Lake Hefner, so I was there quite a bit. I would usually get chased off if I ventured across the gravel road over on the golf course ponds. Apparently they didn't like me cleaning out the carp in those ponds. I used the reasoning that those ponds are part of Lake Hefner because the water level is completely dependent on the big tin-horn under the road. Big fun back then. Not many others bow-fishing on that lake and the carp and gar were plentiful. One time my cousin shot a 38 lb drum at Hefner. The scales on that thing were huge. [/QUOTE]
