So the drawdown would start after Labor Day, 2016?

What effect does the drawdown have on the fishing?

Yea and he likes Dallas Cowboys too! Good thing he is a cool dude, even if he aint to brite! JK Mark!

my first year to do this was a draw down year. i think the draw down is not as much of a determining factor as to whether or not we catch fish as many other things. cooler weather, amount of rain, clarity of water i believe are all bigger factors. but with us pushing it back th is year to mid november will tremendously help the fishing. i plan to send slab a message and see if this will work into his schedule. everyone cross your fingers. LOL

The four foot drop seems to concentrate the fish in the channel more and usually improves fishing.....the water depth at the state park going from the boat ramp to the main channel is not four feet deep in most areas, therefore you will have to trailer to Corney Creek bridge or the area around Jake's to launch.
