I'm guessing a certain bait store or ramp operator is where your information came from. I got a call from another angler asking the same question. It is funny to me that when the fish aren't biting, there has to be a reason (or someone to blame), rather than excepting that the fish just weren't biting that day.

Let me set the record strait (again). I would appreciate it if you hear misinformation being spread, you can set people strait too. We have a one foot drawdown from the normal pool level of 263.0 starting every November 15th. This drawdown is to provide more storage capacity in the lake during the wet winter season. This is NOT to provide water for the WMA below the lake. A by product of us bringing the lake down to winter pool is that the WMD can hold the water in the WMA if they choose to. Once the lake is down to 262.0 feet, we do not release more water. The only reason why we open the gates is because we have received rain and the water level has come back up. If anyone would like to discuss this further, feel free to contact me by email or phone (in my signature). Thanks!
