I wonder if they will start charging again once the place is back business ready.

Yes they will start charging once the money is accounted for. The concessionaire on those lakes gets a share of the fishing permit and boat fee..so they need to get the money straight before collecting anymore. This happened at Laurel Hill a little while back...no fire...but the concessionaire was selling Bluegill from the lake...as food in the shop and out the back door by the pound. I was in the shop the morning TWRA came in and shut him down....and rightfully so. He had paid his fine and he thought it was over but I knew that was not going to stand with TWRA. The TWRA Commissioner said that they could not have a guy running one of their lakes that broke the game laws. TWRA will now publish the open job. I don't know how much fishing is done at Marrow Bone but at Laurel Hill it is quite a bit. TWRA received 70 applications for that opening but only interviewed 7. It can be a good source of income.
