chaunc thanked you for this post
Thank you as well for the dedication to these updates. I spent a chunk of Friday at the lake as I had never seen it at its drawdown levels. I took some pictures for future reference, saw the famous red Lund, and caught a nice mess of crappies with a distinguished shore fisherman who is the master of the crappie magnets. Crappie magnets and trout magnets were both effective.

The river and creeks are really high right now, so the lake should rise a good bit.
