We feel that the spring drawdown at Brownlee reservoir should be not so drastic. This severe drawdown disrupts the crappies ability to sucessfully spawn. This inturn has a serious financial effect on the people that depend on this fishery for all or part of their livelyhoods. The small towns that depend on this fishery are allready facing great hardships due to the increasing price of fuel. They are small isolated communities that have struggled hard to survive. I think we owe it to them to help with this poroblem in anyway possible.
