If it's lowered for 7 to 8 seasons. Then raised back up. Imagine all
that new brush that will be underwater. And the potential for helping
fishing several years beyond. They could have some really great fishing
down the road.

Imagine how many more fishing lures that Joe H. could add to his tackle box!

Just seems like the same number of fish in a slightly smaller body of water.
I doubt it will affect fishing at all. It's the changing water levels that
play hob with the spawn, and if they just drop the lake to winter pool and
leave it there (releasing storm run-off as it enters the lake instead of
retaining it as before), then bass populations will boom. Plus, as has been
pointed out, seven years of vegetation and brush growth along the shores
will make for some great fishing when they finally raise the lake level
again.

I do predict a decrease in lures hung up in trees, however.

Walk the banks after they drop the level,, you can easily fill a couple
of tackle boxes with lures that others lost, Just for the price of some
new hooks. When we were kids we did this when they dropped Smith lake in
N. Alabama, we would check out all the brush, stumps and snags.

Probably not... I think most of them have already come and gone. The next
one is http://www.exposouth.com/event_details.php?id=9 in February, but
they're mainly larger boats. It's a fun show... but out of my price range.

Rodney, I'll see you at the Classic, so if you want me to pass something
along to Charles, I can do that personally.
