It is happening 2 weeks early this year. All boat owners have been told to have the boats off the docks this Saturday. An early draw down is going to do quite a bit for us. It should stabalize the water level through winter a little more. This should help create safer and longer lasting ice this year for those that still want to give this uncharted lake a shot this year.
Also if you feel like taking a walk after the draw down it is a great way to increase the size of your tackle box. I find some high end lures just about every year out there free for the finding.
