Because as soon as they come out into the main lake they enter a mine field of stumps and trees. A vast area as far as the eye can see is virtually impassable.
The benefit would be to use that area of wide open space for pleasure boating. Personally I would love to have that area open to pull kids around on tubes, or just be able to ride wide open up the lake.
2. The drawdowns on cut years would breath life back into the lakes. This is my main selling point.
Drawdowns are extremely healthy for any aquatic environment. It sparks vegetative growth the following year, not to mention its pretty good hunting and fishing during those times.
If you paid attention, you’d notice the ones that are for it, are those that live here, or fish here on a regular basis.
This isn’t a new idea by any means. Local people have been talking about this for as long as I’ve been alive.
With the removal of the trees and during the drawndown should put something in the legislation that will allow planting of the shallow areas with benefical vegetation....... That would be a great idea!!!!
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
