Yes, I noticed this last Tuesday while fishing D'Arbonne Bayou that there was zero current coming down the bayou and I knew they had closed the gates. I assume they pulled the lake down the desired 5 feet and closed the gates.

Almost everyone probably knows that Jakes is at the Hwy 33 bridge, just south of Farmerville and the Hwy 2 launch is about 5 miles west of Farmerville on Hwy 2.

The Spillway launch is located at the dam east of Farmerville. You go about 2-3 miles east of Farmerville on Hwy 2 and turn right on Spillway Road. This will take you to the spillway launch, which is on the right at the end of the road.

Hog Pen launch is a little harder to find. It is located almost halfway between Farmerville and Bernice. I could get to it, but doubt that I could tell anyone else where to turn since I have forgotten the road names. Sorry. Google Earth might help you find the launch should you decide to launch there. If you launch there you will be limited as to where you fish. The Hog Pen is quite a ways from D'Arbonne Lake on Corny Creek. With that said, a person might do worse than launching at Hog Pen. I have never fished up Corny with the lake down 5 feet, but have caught good fish up there in the past.
