    Default Burnt Mills


    Water came up four feet in 24 hours. Found out the hard way as my boat got wedged under my dock and came very near to sinking. The lake is a muddy mess but should be fishable in a week or so.

    We definitely got some water. I don't know how much we got here at home but I've never seen it get so high so fast. Even during hurricanes.

    Floatation in the boat is the only thing that kept that off the bottom.
