Thanks Dave! You are correct I was asking how much water per day can they drop the lake back to normal levels. I have heard that the fishing is still good if the water going out is at a consistent rate (6 inches per day?) but when they open the dam and water is shooting through the fish tend to go deeper. We are going after the famous shellcracker!
