Default Lake Cumberland

Just seems like the same number of fish in a slightly smaller body of water.
I doubt it will affect fishing at all. It's the changing water levels that
play hob with the spawn, and if they just drop the lake to winter pool and
leave it there (releasing storm run-off as it enters the lake instead of
retaining it as before), then bass populations will boom. Plus, as has been
pointed out, seven years of vegetation and brush growth along the shores
will make for some great fishing when they finally raise the lake level
again.

I do predict a decrease in lures hung up in trees, however.

Imagine how many more fishing lures that Joe H. could add to his tackle box!

If it's lowered for 7 to 8 seasons. Then raised back up.
