We had years of drought which is the reason the Big O water level is kept high. If you enter the lake through Clewiston, the surface of the lake is actually above the surface of the dry land, you have to enter it through a lock. Other big lakes in Florida have shown dramatic improvements from periodic draw downs (I don't know how they get the water level lower, but they do). It appears to have the same benefit as periodic fires do in wooded areas. Another problem is that because the water level is kept high, in the event of torrential rains the excess water has to be let into the canals. The high-nutrient fresh water ends up in the intercoastal waterway and through a couple of inlets (mostly around St. Lucie), causing all kinds of trouble. I haven't fished the Big O in a while but I have never been skunked fishing there. From what I read the days of big bass are over but you can still catch good numbers of 1 to 3 pounders. Fresh water fishing in Florida is very weak these days, I had a lot more fun fishing the Washington, D.C. area.
