I see in the paper today that it looks like they will beginning lowering Lake Conway by 4 feet. It's a stop-gap measure to slow down aquatic vegetation and allow property owners to clean out silt. Later I think they will try to drain it and get serious about cleaning out the silt.

I recall in 1980s they nearly drained the lake. The crappie fishing was incredible beginning two or three years after they refilled it. They nearly drained it in 1999, but there was never the expected "return" of good crappie fishing.

Anyone have any thoughts about this latest plan? Can Conway be restored, or is there just too much development around it? Do lakes eventually just fade away?

Just curious. I've fished it for years but the last few have been less that wonderful.
