If managed right any lake can be buildit back to life,we may have to suffer a little while its being done.After the draw down in the fall for the duck hunter why not leave it that way for several months.Sow the lake bottom,let it grow until around july,fill it back up,draw it back down for the duck hunter.Do the same thing again next year....atleast try someting different as to what has and been done.Unless we start hallowering for something to done we will have to go along with life with as is.Want get no better and in cases worse guess us crappie fisherman are misfits in the fishing world.To do repect to the guys that builds crappie homes and brush piles it helps to draw crappie in to feed in that spot plus in suppling more food for them.That along in alot of lakes is not good enough to supply our fishing needs and theirs in the days to come.
You will hear more of "used to" in other lakes too.

it would be almost impossible to do that. i started to mention doing that very thing but wth flat creek being as big as it is if it came a big rain the out flow would not be, could not be as much as the inflow and would thus drown out what they sowed. and too, the woodypeckerwood people will not spend the money or effort on such a project. they like to waste your tax monies on useless projects. they can't even get along within themselves. right now they are in or nearly in a lawsuit with one of their own past woodypeckerwood commissioners. they are a joke. a joke at your expense.

I used to wade/fish flat creek before the lake was buildt and even the upper part after it was buildt.If they would leave the dam open it would not flood out the sowed part,may get over some of it but in a day or two it would be gone.Flat creek isn't that big,the problem would be catching enough water in the lake before duck season.Like I said we may ALL have to suffer for a while until the lake(s) are back to producing Large bass and panfish.The draw down is a money maker only for the duck hunters,does it really help a lake to draw it down ever year.After the draw down its nothing but mud flats,if we crappie fisherman don't start hallowering we'll always be second fiddle to the bass fisherman.I think the panfisherman spends more money than the bass fisherman.We think all is will if game&fish dumps another load of fish in a lake but they aren't going to grow if the lake has not the food for them.
