any update on Oak Ridge?

Morning, anyone who lives up that way know if all this years rain has helped Oak Ridge get any closer to fishing shape?

From what I have heard, it’s not a matter of rain but fixing the dam. When that will be completed, God only knows. It will also be closed for the entirety of 2025

I figured this year was out, I drove by in the winter, and the lake was empty.
Very sad, that is a great lake to fish. What a shame. Hopefully, it comes back to a good lake to fish in the not-too-distant future.

Agreed. Might take a couple of years. There is a lot of water down by the dam so hopefully it’s not going to affect the fish population too much.
