Is It Time for a Lake Conway Draw Down?

[CrappiePro]

I for one think it is the perfect time for this to happen and here is why.

Allow folks who lost property in the bottom of the lake to maybe find it.

Allow for a cleanup of sunken debris along banks...now covering spawning habitat. From what I saw still sunken and now laying on the banks we will all be eating cardboard flavored bluegill and bass coming from the Hwy 89 Bay.

During the cleanup last Sat which was a great help...There is still so much sunken debris covering spawning habitat we could not get to that needs to be picked up to help fish have more natural spawning habitat.

Its pretty bad when you drop your trolling motor along the bank and two out of three times your TM Skeg picks up a shingle and piece of finishing board that has sunken.

While boat trails are not marked too bad... some more work can be done.

Draw Downs always increase good vegetation growth and increase nutrient's in a lake and aid in the coming spawns.

Maybe a good drum kill off can be done also them things are getting worse every year.

I have lived through three draw downs on Lake Conway and the fishing has been great during and shortly afterwards also with the help of our Game and Fish Management stocking programs. It will not hurt the lake but can only help and give us the chance to make it better.

Dock owner can make repairs.

Boatramps can be worked on.

Dam fixtures can be made.

The lake bottom closest to the oil spill bay can be examined better.

After a major tornado and oil spill the year before...Don't it make good sense to draw the lake down and just take a look at what we got. I think it does.

The list goes on and on. Draw it Down... Comments?
