One of the lakes that I used to fish a lot still suffers from when they almost drained the lake dry when they had to fix the dam. Well for all of the vegetation in the lake was exposed to dry land and no water. Now there is no more weeds like coontail which was the best way to find bass since there is no visible cover anywhere else in the lake. There are a few man made structures that were put in the lake but I have no idea were they are. So pretty much what will happen with the lakes vegetation will they start to grow by next year or what?  

Generally speaking, drawdowns are very healthy for a lake and normally make it easier to catch fish.

Drawdowns kill-off invasive vegetation along the shoreline and firm-up the bottom for more beneficial plants.

Are you sure the prevalent plant was "coontail"?

Coontail is not rooted in the bottom, and when pool levels are lowered,

dense mats of coontail typically end-up in the last vestiges of water.

Maybe it was not coontail. I am not very smart when it comes to classifying weeds. But yes there was never really an invasion of weeds it was just the perfect amount to being able to locate bass really easy. But since there are no more weeds there is no more visible cover except the 2 docks on the lake. Any one know when they will grow back?
