Some Fall / Winter Draw Down Photos

I went a test drove a boat down in Georgia the ramp appeared to be 200 ft long down to the water running along you could look up and see full sized trees that fell into the lake we were probably 20 ft below them. It was pretty neat to see from a fishes perspective

I've been to Douglas Lake when the water hasn't fully gone from Winter Pool to Summer Pool .... and was told that most people fished the shoreline for Crappie in the Spring, and when I was there that "shoreline" was probably 15ft above my head as I sat in the boat.

I checked and the Summer Pool elev. is 990 -- Winter Pool elev. is 955* (*estimated)

When I looked on Google Maps at the lake .... people's boat docks were high & dry (by a LONG way )

It is certainly an odd feeling. The no wake bouy was at least 20 feet above the water.

Be a great time to get out the map of that lake and write in details of what you are seeing.

Spring rains will change my lake considerably. Last year all kind of logs out on that flat when the water went down. This year almost nothing there.

You probably have a cell phone. Take pictures while it’s low. We had a drought several years ago and the lakes dropped several ft, a lot for this area. I laid tracks from one spot to another to travel later and not hit stumps, took pics of what docks had brush placed under and around them, subtle drop offs, etc.

My home lake only drops 5 feet. It doesn't expose much that isn't shallow water at full pool.
