Nov. 2019-Feb. 2020 Lake Drawdown  (3rd)

Our 3rd lake draw-down has ended as of Feb. 20, 2020!  Previous draw-downs took place 11/1/2013, 11/1/2016, and it's time once again for another draw-down.

This has really made a difference in the cleanliness of the lake and has increased the fish population in the lake!  We haven't had to stock more bass in several years now!  The draw-down usually lasts until early February, and the water is drawn down 4"- 6".  The last draw-down ended in Feb. and the lake very quickly filled up after a few hard rains!

This is a great time to make any repairs to your bulkheads, clean out branches and bag those leaves that are filling in your shore line!  Drawing down the water has proven to help the lake, without losing fish and also helping air to get to the leaves, making the leaves oxidize faster.


UPDATE on 2019-2020 Draw Down: Because of the almost constant rain that seemed to happen throughout the draw-down period (just as the lake was finally drying enough to work on), no major work could be done during this time. There were some members who did limited work around their lots. As Mike M. & Mark have previously stated, the primary purpose of the draw down was to expose the bottom sediment to oxygen to allow for more efficient decomposition. For this purpose, the draw down was very successful. There was a lot of exposed coast line around the lake during the draw down timeline!


Catch & Release!

Beginning March 1, 2020, all fishing on the lake is “Catch and Release” until further notice. This primarily means that Bass should always be released during this period so they can spawn and help grow the lake population of bass! It does not include bream, catfish or any other pan fish.
