In the absence of submergent or emergent vegetation, I recommend planting the grass now along the exposed banks. Obviously in this scenario you're dependent on Spring rains and level rising over the grass which has hopefully grown some, and you may have established appropriate GSH spawning habitat. Or, you can search the archives for GSH spawning habitat furnace filters and might find some direction. Or, you can simply restock GSH until you have established habitat necessary for GSH spawning. GSH are pretty affordable and most hatcheries have access to them if they don't raise them. Doing my best here - those are the only options I know that can help you in absense of vegetation.
