I would like to see one of those 30-50 foot drawdowns, if only to putt around in my jonboat with a camera taking pictures of all of the fishy areas that nobody has seen in forever so I can come back when the lake refills.
Actually, allowing for more flexibility with the rule would be better. The variance from last year worked, so make it easier to grant variances in the future. A variance might have helped some in 2007, but that was such an extreme drought that even then the lake could not have been maintained at a useful recreational level for long. On the other hand, if it is known that the winter will be unusually wet, then a lower drawdown could be useful to take advantage of the storage capacity of the lake. Of course, the federal government is never known for being fast and flexible, so who knows if proper variances could be granted in a timely fashion whenever they were needed. As for later fall drawdown dates, since late summer and fall are usually the driest time of the year, so it might not make much of a difference since there probably won't be enough rain to maintain rule levels anyway. Earlier cork dates should be dependent on rainfall. If the winter is unusually dry, start filling earlier.
