With the ridiculous drought we’ve had I have been taking as many photos as possible for the days when they fill back up. It’s been absolutely amazing to see lakes minus 3 foot of water, here’s an island on a little water I fish, so tight was never really that tight with this undercut (please don’t name venue if you know)

Get out there and get snapping away - this is an opportunity that may pay dividends for years

I've drained my lake and removed around 8000 tons of silt this year, as you can imagine, the changes are massive.
I've allowed five of last year's members to have access and they're taking loads of photos and videos.
They're also helping me with the massive amount of work around the margins and raised features, for which hugely appreciative.😎

My lake is currently over 24ft down on full. Where my bivvy is will be 20ft under water by the start of next year lol. Average year it goes down about 22ft, but seen it over 26ft down before! Proper eye opener. Where I stood and took the photo will be 6ft underwater when full lol.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
