Lake Conway drawdown plans and fish kills by Game and Fish
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission plans fall and winter operations on Lake Conway including a gradual water drawdown beginning around Sept 15 to concentrate fish in deeper areas while keeping boat access. Fish kills will occur in old lake beds and channels, with further draws to expose the spillway bottom for a log guard, potentially reaching 9 to 10 feet below normal. A special commercial fishery is proposed Oct 1 1975 to Mar 31 1976, and after Jan 1 the lake will refill to winter levels, draining the nursery pond containing tens of thousands of catfish and hundreds of thousands of crappies into the lake to improve year bass spawning in spring 1976. Spillway and log guard work will enhance the spillway system use.
