This is what drought looks like.

One of my favorite fishing holes, Irvine Lake, looks a lot like the ones in the pictures. Back in 2010 (or around there) the lake was so full there was no real shoreline to fish, water even went over the dam due to heavy rains.

We used to fish this one area, in a part of the lake called “The Flats” where the water had mostly submerged a lot of scrub and trees (made for awesome catfishing) and there’s a spot called “Trout Island” that we used to drive our boats OVER.

Now all that water is gone. Granted it’s a private lake, they buy and sell water but won’t be buying any for the foreseeable future and are basically counting on rain to fill the lake back up. You can literally see where the waterline was and it looks just like those pics.
