Pruning Fig Tree

Question

I have a large fig tree in the yard that has not been pruned in several years. Two years ago we started having to tie the lower branches up so as not to be on the ground. This needs a drastic pruning. Is now the best time to do it? I don’t care about it producing this year; I just need to get it cut way back.
