I haven't heard anything fromt he pool. I would imagine with all the rain that has been falling that the refuge management team has been scrambling to prevent any accumulation of water in the pool. I never have been able to get an explaination of why, in a marsh where all of the aquatic vegetation either grows to the surface or above the surface of the water, you must "lower" the water level "for the ducks". I did get a guy that told me "well they need mud flats to rest on" to which I responded-"aren't they saying that there isn't enough open water and they want to burn it so there won't be so much floating turf and mudflats and make more open water".
I think the fact is that they don't want the fishery to be very good as this will result in less public use and reduce the amount of time they have to spend "babysitting" the place.
