Rathbun is an awesome lake.I just hope we can have a normal level year.So far its not looking that way.The lake is about 3 1/2 feet above normal right now and they have alot of snow to melt yet.Have a friend that owns ground on the Chariton River west of Chariton said its finally back in its banks.Hop they start letting some water out as they can only drop the lake a foot a week and at 907.45 now and still rising could take awhile to get it back down.Personally for my fishing I like it around 906 tops during the spawn.PJ
