Found out they did have a permit...............to LOWER the level of the lake- not DRAIN it! They said they were supposed to LOWER it for 10 yr dam inspection. They didn’t do anything to save the fish since it was only supposed to be lowered. They said lots of fish were “flushed” downstream.And like I suspected, no plans to restock!
Actually Chris my money is on incompetence! I think maybe they only meant to lower it but somebody screwed up.Unfortunately, if we get a fine we(as in homeowners) will ultimately pay. They will assess each property x amount to pay the fine. I never fished this lake a lot, but I really feel bad for the folks that bought lakefront properties here. That lake will only be good for ice-skating for years to come!
