    It’s incredible how quickly it’s draining. Fantastic video.

    Wow, that is a small lake and sad to see down so low! Yeah, with all that structure and standing trees that is a Crappie Haven! Thanks for sharing Mat and Sophie!

    • @NaturalStateFishing

      Definitely, but it’ll be a better lake when they are done with repairs!!! Thanks for watching!

    I’m sorry to hear that, I hope once the repairs are done that they get the fish population back up. And the water ofc. My state couldn’t afford to lose any reservoirs. We don’t have that kind of water.

      Oh for sure. It’s definitely a wild time. I appreciate you watching!!

    Man... That's a tough one to see, a few more years that lake will be bumping again though 🎣💪

      @NaturalStateFishing  2 месяца назад +2

      Definitely a weird feeling to see it going away. We’ve spent a lot of time at this lake. Definitely excited to see how the AGFC does on their restocking and new lake management though!!! Haha Thanks for watching!

    Have they lifted the creel limits on all the fish? Maybe it won’t take long to bounce back.
    This video reminds me that I should do an update on Lake Conway. Great job!

    • @NaturalStateFishing
      @NaturalStateFishing  2 месяца назад +2

      Yes sir all size and possession limits are off! They’re encouraging keeping anything and everything! Definitely do a Conway update! I always enjoy seeing it. Thanks Slick!

    Sad to see it being drained.
    For sure it will take awhile to get it back to where it once was.

    • @NaturalStateFishing
      @NaturalStateFishing  2 месяца назад +1

      It’s definitely sad! But I’m excited to see what the future lake is like!

    Holy smokes… the newsletter said they were dropping it fast but that’s insane fast. And I won’t be there to fish it for 2 weeks darnit.

    • @NaturalStateFishing
      @NaturalStateFishing  2 месяца назад +2

      Sheesh in two weeks it’s liable to just be a mud hole! It’s definitely crazy to see it. That video was taken yesterday, so that IS as recent as it could have been. I’ll keep posting videos weekly of the progress

  • @RodsFishingAdventures
    @RodsFishingAdventures 2 месяца назад +2

    Are they completely draining it and why

    • @NaturalStateFishing
      @NaturalStateFishing  2 месяца назад +2

      Yes sir draining it all the way! It has a leak right at the bottom of the control tower, so they have to cut the dam and make repairs. But they’re going to make a lot of awesome improvements while it’s drained! Thank you for watching Mr. Rod.

      Still draining it! It’ll be empty in a month or so, then the repairs will take a year
