Where do fish go when a lake fills back up?

    Here is my doozy of a first post. I have a question I'm trying to get my arms around so I can improve my fishing knowledge and I'd appreciate all he help I can get. I've posted this on two other fishing forums and I'm just trying to cover as much water as possible if you get my drift. So here is the question:

    Our north Texas lakes suffered greatly during the drought which thankfully ended last year. Many went from the 19-25% full range to being 100% in a two week period which was miracle in itself. However, with the great influx of water from the big rains we had in May, also came mud and silt that still has not settled making most of them a chocolate mess. Not gonna lie here, but it seems if now we are stuck fishing the Dead Sea. Several tournaments have ended with only 1 or 2 fish weighed in with 20 boats fishing. Just looking for some insight from someone who might know what actually happens to the fish in a situation like this. Has the population disappeared due to the drought? Do the fish hang out where they did during the drought? Do they move shallow and hang tight to cover? What are your thoughts?
