Its the closest place to me as well. Any farther pulling the camper, and I prefer to swap over wheels and tires on the truck because the 22's aren't ideal for dragging that weight.
Sucks that fishing is gonna be pretty terrible for the next few years.
We went at the beginning of August. Had never been there, so scoped it out the week prior. They must have started draining it right after we left, because when we came back to camp, the water was about 20ft lower.
We actually found it looking through YouTube for fishing spots. Actually met the guy who's channel we saw out there.
