[QUOTE="Repubiman, post: 2235932, member: 971"] I spent many weekends on the Salt Fork river S.E. of Tonkawa fishing for big cats. Had an awesome sand bar to fish from into a deep hole with lots of car bodies lining the opposite bank. Best cat fishing I've ever done down there. Bar none. It was common to catch 25 pound flatheads, blues or channel cats. We'd set limb lines and pole fish and always came away with a lot of fish. I hope they find out what caused it so they can hopefully avoid another fish kill like that in the future. If it is oilfield related, I hope they make the responsible party pay for a restocking program that stocks thousands of fish back into the Salt Fork once conditions are improved for all aquatic life. Something in me believes we will never have a solid answer or responsible party found. A terrible incident that will take years and years to recover from. Makes me sick to think mu old fishing hole has been ruined for the rest of my life time. Sure there will eventually be a return to decent fishing but not like the size and numbers we caught regularly every time we fished down there. [/QUOTE]
