You're not supposed to have trees right down to the water's edge????
This was built in 1971, and according to records it had a max depth of 16' off the dam when completed. It's stocked with LMB, RES, and BG, and it is not aerated. I can't speak for the first ten years of its existence, but over the last 33 years it has never suffered a fishkill. I was able to ice fish it pretty heavily last winter, thanks to the sheer severity of the season, and discovered the depth off the dam was now 14'.
So it appears that it has lost 2' of depth over 43 years. My feelings are, after another 43 fall seasons, whomever owns it by then can decide if it needs drained and cleaned out. I'm not going to worry about it.
