Default Prospertown Lake Almost Empty?

Hey guys I drive by Prospertown everyday on my way to and from work. Today it looked almost empty. Water level is way down,empty all around the islands. Reminds me of when the damn broke when I was a kid.

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Damns are breaking on a lot of lakes. Been creating some very unique fishing opportunities for some though.

Recon on Friday evening was not good . The Dam is intact but the flow is wide open out of the pipe . I can't figure out why there is such a great flow when the skimmer is out of the water . There may a third of the lake left . Finding a solid spot to get down to the water is also a problem as the gumbo is sucking boots off . I saw one person manage to get to the water on the right side of the main boat ramp where the sand flats are . The back ramp is not worth trying and rollercoaster cove is just a trickle . I think that a levy in the back might have broken . Grandson and I will try and launch the johnboat by the main ramp and go into the back ASAP ! I saw quite a bit of fish activity but it's going to be tough getting to the water in the back .
