I don’t see the lake going down. Think of it this way. Less boat traffic. No big boat hassles. More parking and less launch problems as well as take out. You may loose the walleye stocking but the lake always had great crappie fishing. When I fished it, yes, had to have a small boat with a 9.9 and my bass boat sat in the driveway, and was pretty much not hardly a person on it during the week and I never had any problems catching a limit of nice sized crappies. It’s a great lake to long line jigs or cranks too. And you can always pull into Rick’s Boatyard for great food. :cheers2
