Either way this year is going to be a hard one for Chesterfield. Over one half of the fish stocked last fall ended up being eaten by the birds.
With continued drought it may get drawn down early. A lot of the water question depends on what kind of rain we get this month. If it is scarce, then irrigation is going to have to start early.
Chesterfield doesn't have a minimum pool, and it used to get completely drained every few years. That hasn't happened for awhile, but it might. F&G were working to get a minimum water pool there, but I don't know if they succeeded. Even if it doesn't get completely drained, the birds move in on the reservoir when it is low and do massive damage to the fish.
Pray for rain!
