There has been a ton of discussion about the draw down and its potential effects, but less about the opportunities it presents. This may be, and hopefully WILL be, the only time in our lifetimes this lake will be this low. I'd like to hear about whatever projects may be planned, or ideas that board members may have, to take advantage of this, be they cleanup, creating fish attractors, or whatever. Perhaps someone with Fish & Wildlife contacts could consult with them on the subject? That would be ideal, because I'd rather help out with something that is focused on correcting a specific problem, or improving the environment in some measurable way, rather than just deciding independently that such and such a place needs structure, and dropping pine trees (or whatever) onto the bottom. This would also help offset some of the losses that the local businesses are suffering.

Thanks,

Jon Davis
PS: I've been planning my first ever Cumberland visit for this summer, and I'm not going to let this draw down stop me!
