Why are they dropping the lake?

(03/25/10) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will slowly lower the water level in Nimrod Lake in Yell County, beginning May 15. The water level will be lowered 5 feet by June 1, and the lower level will be maintained until Oct. 1. The drawdown is part of the Corps and AGFC’s water management plan, and is an attempt to meet fisheries management goals without the need for the costly 10-foot draw downs previously conducted on the lake.

That is according to the AGFC website.

With all the high water last 3 springs, fishing has been better. I hope this drawdown does'nt wreck it.
