Anybody know how long this process is supposed to take or have experience about how long it takes for a water to be fishable for lack of a better word after something like this happens? When I got back into fishing this was a great little lake for me. It Ten minutes from home and despite all the pressure it does get I rarely came up empty handed.

Dam repairs generally only take a few months. The lake then has to slowly refill. Once oxygen levels reach adequate levels, the fish stockings can begin.
Small ponds post dam repair generally receive juvenile/adult bass in the 6 to 13" range 6 to 8 months after the pond refills. How many bass depends on the size of the water. Fishing will be good for a year or two until bass pops return to normal levels.
They may also stock adult Bluegill, Crappie & Bullheads as well.
