Drawdowns have historically varied on average from eight to 12 feet but more recently have been as drastic as 14 feet.Despite five public landing throughout the flowage, launching a boat in fall can be an extremely difficult proposition due to low water levels.
Drawdowns may be responsible for poor survival of young walleyes that pass downstream through the dam and by increased cannibalism by adult walleyes made possible by a drastic reduction in the winter pool area.Due to the problem, in the past the state has encouraged Xcel Energy to more closely monitor drawdowns and will initiate negotiations to explore the possibility of reducing winter drawdowns to a level less damaging to walleye recruitment and the overall fishery. The number of trophy class fish over the years has declined with angling pressure, but the Gile retains its reputation as an exceptional smallmouth fishery.“Because the population was abundant and the smallmouth here are so robust, much like the football fish in the Flambeau Flowage, and because of the aesthetics of the flowage people target smallmouth,” Roth said.

Water levels vary considerably and are manipulated by Xcel Energy in response to seasonal precipitation and demands of the two downstream hydroelectric operations. Many also believe the walleye has suffered in competition with a high numbers of smallmouth bass first stocked by the DNR in 1985.Protective smallie regulations including a 15 inch minimum and two fish limit on a relatively unknown fishery with light angling pressure quickly led to “superb” smallie fishing with fish between 18 and 22 inches six or seven after stocking routinely taken.
