+1 to keep it low!!

After Rita and Ike livingston was pulled down 7.5 - 8 ft. Gave people a chance to work on bulkheads and docks, plant grasses and maintain brush piles. White bass went nuts for several years. No B.S....I don't catch short fish. In a year and a half maybe 2. Shad are freakin everywhere. It help the entire ecosystem. Breaks the silt down, shorelines expand, concentrates baitfish....all good in the long run.

Drain baby drain!!! Lower the better!

tell that to all the people that live around the lake that have spent tens of thousands to make boat docks that are out of the water,..not good.

If I remember reading correctly they can pump out 5 acre feet and during the drought a few years ago the lake was down some 5-7 feet. If we don't get the rain and they get the 5 acre feet we'll experience that new lake effect sometime in the future when we get the rain. Unfortunately, the home owners knew or should have known what could happen if drought and pumping occurred in the same year to the extreme. They will just have to launch like the rest of us. Remember, when Fork was new the catching was awesome and fun. We may see a similar situation if all things work together some day IMO.

For sure but you know with Fork's vast drainage a couple of good rains and we'll be full.

I agree with Tom C..... I didn't have much pucker making the same run on saturday that fishn_man took...I haven't fished fork THAT long, and I like the level right now...easy to see the creek channels!!!

6 feet low would be awesome!

Plus give Fork newbies like me a chance to really get out there and see what is on the lake bottom a bit and really lay out some great trails and paths to run in normal conditions.

Humm!! concentrated share a lunkers and lost lower units, got a take the good with the bad!

Not Fork, but I thought yall might enjoy some pictures my Dad sent me a couple days ago of toledo bend. Note that the buildings in the pictures are normally floating boat docks.

Like I said some boats can launch but not all boats can. I certainly can't.

Bingo!!

They didn't spend 200 million for the bass.

In New mexico we have lots of fluc in water, droughts, etc. 15-30' low is not uncommon. What I have noticed over the years is that when the lake is low and the weeds grow in and then the water comes up. Bam ... more plankton, more bait, fatter bass and more growth. The fishing for stripers when it is real low is pretty good too. But for us the draw down period has less baitfish and the fish get skinny. It is not a good thing to have all of the time. Also at EB they have to move marinas around for a lot of $ the state has to help with the cost. We have been blessed with more water the last few years. Texas is blessed with a lot of lakes/water, from what I have seen.
