I have no idea why the water company won't let the reservoir fill up.

It can't be good for spawning fish and fry to have the water levels so low.

Last June, they let the reservoir stand at 100% full and the fishing was pretty good. It stayed full all summer until we went a few weeks without rain in September, then they let the water out again. That just totally killed the fishing. Maybe because the falling water levels concentrates all the herring and causes all the small fish to move into deeper water where they're eaten. I don't know.
