I have a 20 acre pond in Eastern Virginia that we have to do some spillway improvements on soon. In order to do so we have to lower the water level 4', max depth is 9.5' and the average depth is probably 7-8'. We are supposed to start the drawdown middle of next month, May 15th and we will need to have it at that level for approximately one month. Everything i have read discourages summer drawdowns for obvious reasons. How concerned should I be about the fishery and is their anything i can do to make it less stressful for the fish. There is no power at the location. Any help or advice would be greatley appreciated.
