Actually, the lake is hosting the largest fishing tournament in the
nation in 2010, the Forrest Wood Cup. Oh, and it's came up a foot
recently! Here's a link about the Cup coming:

Here's a fishing report:

I was out on Lanier a couple of weeks ago in my buddies go-fast. If you
ask me the lake is in pretty sad shape as one must watch for all kinds
of new hazzards due to the level.

My home lake "Hartwell" is as bad or worse, but I am lucky to still have
5 feet of water under my dock. Getting out of Gumlog creek will be a
challange due to all the trees that are sticking up. But as with Lanier
even the3 main channel is not safe from hitting something where you
would never expect it. About a month ago was the last time I was out on
Hartwell. There is a huge tree just down stream from the I85 that the
water depth measured between 45 and 50 feet as I circled it in the
pontoon boat.

If you ask me the Army corps really screwed the pooch with their water
management policies on both these lakes.

It isn't great, but it isn't like Harry, who has no clue about it,
tries to make out.
