yes!! we went back last saturday and had a ball. i guess with the 4th of july holiday the us dept of fish and wildlife didn't do much pumping because the lake level had only dropped about 3 inches. the further down the lake is pumped the better the bowfishing will get! my son and i shot 10 buffalo,2carp, and a pair of 22lb bigheads in about 4 hours. the buff's ranged from 8-16 lbs. had seveal pull off's due toa tip malfunction. had the best shooting from around 10:00 to 1:00 pm. I don't know exactly when the shooting will be at it's peak but from the locals that i have talked to when the lake is drained the only water left will be in the chute leading to the stop log struckture at the river, approx 100 yrds long and 50ft wide. look on a map swan lake is very large! looks like i will have to work this weekend and won't be able to go but the first evening i have available im' going back with a couple of 12 yr olds for a shoot! we have yet to see anyone else bowfishing but have seen several people snagging buff's that are more than willing to take any excess fish off your hands. this lake is drained apparently every 5-6 years to plant feed for migrating waterfowl in the fall, so it's an unusally good time to take advantage of, and the fish will probably die off anywayfrom lack of water. let me know if anyone else goes!!!
