Does anyone know if there is any water left in Sanchez Reservoir? If there is did any of the fish survive?

Thanks

They lowered the water level enough so the water tower could be demolished. Then build a new control system.
It would be a stinking mess me thinks.

Every time Sanchez comes up all I can think of is what a great lake it was for pike and
walleye. A buzzbait in the weedy shallows was great-sometimes you could see the wake coming at the lure.

The wife and I went out there about 4 yrs ago and fished for two days-caught about 20 pike but nothing over 30" and they were skinny. Our last hurrah there.

I used to fish it for the Walleye. It made me look good with 20" plus fish.
Pike were a nuisance but fun to catch.

I've heard that the lake has caught a lot of water this year but that they aren't allowing any fishing yet. Hopefully it will bounce back the next few years.
