The lake has a 10hp limit. When I was there in December, fishing off the bank/road by the warm discharge, the water level was actually up. Guys were catching channel cats left and right but no bass. If the lake is being dropped, it must have JUST happened. From what I can tell, the lake is silting in quite a bit due to the creeks that feed into it and the lack of vegitation to keep it at bay. So the lake is shallower than it used to be but not because they're dropping it.

I used to fish TC quite a bit but gave up on that one after hitting Newton in IL one time. No comparison whatsoever! The drive is about the same from Indy and the fishing is way better; not to mention more water to fish so there's less competition for spots. Great lake!
