Low Lake Levals
Anyone else out there having troubles with low lake levels? This has been one of the worst years I can remember with lake levels. The only good thing is it has exposed all sorts of new brush that I did not know exsisted on the flip side a lot of mine is also exposed!
I've had to switch thigs up and consentrate on fishing standing timber and sink some more pvc atractors in the correct depth. It has been a big hassle and we need the rain! I thought we'd have some by now. You guy's over east or up north need to quit hoggin up all the rain!

Most lakes are drawn down during the winter for the coming spring rains. The lake we fish, will draw down 5 to 6 feet. Makes it tough getting in and out of the few ramps that you can put in at.

Good Luck

Bull Shoals was 6½ low last weekend. Fishing is tough the say. This lake always has went up & down a lot. Been more stable after they added Table Rock and Beaver.

J.T.-Here on the Hollow its the lowest its been in years.Here on the Wolf River end its really bad.Down a good 15 ft. from spring level.The ramp here at camp is just about out of the water.Dont quite understand the C.O.E."s drastic drawdown this year. Like you said it does have some advantages,Finding all kinds of new structure.Less water for the fish to hide in!!
Good Fishin To Ya!! Dennis Dale Hollow Crappie www.dalehollowcrappie.4t.com

Beaver is 10 to 11 feet low. Almost every ramp is affected! A lot of lower units are getting toar up! That is a good point Dennis, there is less water for the fish to hide! Now if the blasted east wind would go away I'd be in good shape!

As you stated, the low lake levels offer a good opportunity to observe/record locations of cover/topography that are normally hidden from view...a couple of years ago when Douglas Lake here in eastern TN was drawn down, I drove around the entire lake, videotaping structure on the bottom...even was able to walk out into the middle of the Flat Creek area and get closeups of channel boundaries/sloughs...the info payed off in spades the next spring, when I knew right where to "go get 'em"....so, don't despair about winter drawdowns...fish the channels and make yourself smarter about the lake bottom! Good luck to ya!!
