Yes, Evergreen got pounded hard during covid. I went one weekend in early spring and parked at the White Oak ramps. they are closer to home and closer to where I like to fish. I think I got the last spot for truck and trailer. Got on the water and quickly realized there was a boat on every point and multiples in every cove. I thought to myself, screw this. I'm not showing these yahoos my spots. Since I was researching new boats I tooled around the lake checking out other boats. Saw a couple of boats that I was interested in and motored over to them. told them I was boat shopping and asked if I could ask them some questions about their boats. We chatted for a few minutes. As I was about to leave, I left them with a spot to catch fish. If they had kids in teh boat, I gave them minnows too.

I can say, that we still pound the crappie. The average size has gone down. But I've seen that before. They will be back up this year or next.
