This is slightly off topic, but I am in favor of 10 foot or more drawdowns...for lakes that don't have them. I recently read an article by someone complaining about the creeks in Middle Pond being silted in so bad that access is impossible. I have seen similar complaints about this happening in other lakes, especially Lake Mitchell, where siltation in Hatchett Creek threatens one of the few walleye fisheries in the state(yes, they are native). Martin does not have that problem because of the drawdowns. If you go to the back of any creek, you will find a channel. The silted in areas are at the 480 level. I wonder what would happen if lakes like Jordan were drawn down, even for one winter. Would that be enough to let the creeks flush out decades of built up sediment and form new creek channels? If that was done periodically, would that keep more of the creeks open? Would APCo go along with it?
