crappiencali,

I don't recall exactly why they drained the lake (wasn't interested in fishing at the time). I think it had something to do with water retention. It's pretty low at the moment due to the lowest rainfall on record so far this year. At the end of July, we'd only received 3" year to date of rainfall. We have finally received some rain this week though.

I did make the mistake of releasing a saugeye and a walleye back into that lake though. I figured that they were too small. It turns out that they are great eating at that size.
