Thanks for the info... My father "had bought" a house on a 15-acre "millpond", when I was about to enter 9th grade... The dam was on our property and it was up to him, to remove or add boards in the spillway. (No valves involved)... Either way he tried to "slice it"; he couldn't seem to EVERYBODY "happy", at certain times of year.
I get that. “Happy”. I am not happy about doing it. I like winter fishing. What I am not doing is a chemical treatment. No way. Carp can’t do it either. Draining and freezing can work. The lake is 29 feet deep by the dam. Some other areas are 15 feet so there will be a place for the fish to go.
