I don't think Rough, Barren or Nolin have started the winter draw down. I think they're holding off until Oct.22. Correct me if I'm wrong but usually they start the slow draw on Sept. 15 and pull the plug Oct.15. on these lakes. I would say they're holding the lakes because of the dry summer we've had.
