They have to repl.the control tower(which controls the flow) as they were afraid it would fail and lose control of the outflow.

Somebody told me that they are not going to let people fish the pond that will be left when they drain the lake. 
Has anybody else heard this?

I haven't heard anything but I would be surprised if that is true. My experience with dam repairs is that the fish commission nets and transfers a lot of fish but anglers are encouraged to catch and eat the remaining fish. When they drained Leaser Lake, the size limits were eliminated so people could keep whatever they caught. The idea was to prevent waste.

Checked Lake Jean this morning. Lake not refilling yet but outlet looks finished, maybe 20 acres water on the beach end of the lake. Scored a nice piece of driftwood and a rusty old anchor for the garden.Check their facebook page for updates[includes info on a local BSA troop building fish structure].https://www.facebook.com/RickettsGlenStateParkDCNR
Correction to my post:late Sept.new outlet tower concrete  being poured.Hope it's done in time for the fall rains to help fill the lake.
