[cool][#0000ff]Bummer. There goes the winter ice fishing in the marinas. There won't be enough water left inside to fish.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We can only guess what it will do to the overall fishery. During the winter it will concentrate both the predators and the prey. The walleyes, wipers, cats, smallies and crappies will have plenty to eat, in the smaller water pool, but the key question is whether or not there will be enough runoff to fill the lake again in the spring. If not, then many of the fish will not be able to spawn successfully and populations will suffer, like they did during the drought.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]About that little boy who saved the day by sticking his finger in the hole...that can get you in trouble too. These days he would have to file an environmental impact statement and would probably have PETA on him about something.[/#0000ff]
