I would think that the impact on the stripers will be minimal if the levels stay pretty consistant. There will be plenty of cool water in the lake and it is plenty deep. I suspect that there will be a greater impact on other species: bass and panfish, that prefer structure such as trees/brush. The latter will likely rot (those that stay above the winter pool) leaving less structure once the lake fills back up.
I would also be interested in what ramps will still be useable.
