There's a lot more than removing the weirs to put the lake back to the way it was. Not that it could even be done, but you guides wouldn't like the lake at all if it were restored to its original shape. The fishing may suck, but that wouldn't mean that the estuary isn't healthy.

It will never be restored to its original state. Too much money moves through that channel.
If it was restored to its historic state, it would not hold trout and reds anymore, except maybe to the extreme south. Everything north would be fresh to intermediate salinities, making it prime bass habitat.
But, that will never happen.
