Been fishing the lake for 45 years. The lake has been drawn down for the last 11 years. The dam work was supposed to be completed in 2014 so who knows when it will be done. The backs of most pockets have trees growing now and all the banks have weeds that will be covered if /when they raise the lake back to normal pool. The COE has kept the lake around 15 feet below normal summer pool since the dam work started. It's a good lake for all three species of bass. It gets tough in the hot of summer like most lakes. Never have targeted big bream but have pulled some good shell crackers off the beds in the spring. Just been difficult the last few years with the flooding. Good crappie fishing also but that's been difficult too with the flooding the last couple years.
