CJ is only dropped 3 ft from summer pool in Winter....in the Spring of 2008 she was probably 6 ft above summer pool, but spread out more.
The Marina Parking lots were flooded, water was in the restaurant, and water was at the very top of the Marina Breaker walls.
I fished that week and did Fantastic...no one else was out fishing.
Water on the west bank was up into the woods. CJ proved how much water she could hold because water wasn't even close to going over the emergency spillway....it was probably only half way up...meaning CJ could double her size before it would release from the emergency spillway to spare the main dam from danger.
That was the most water I have ever seen in CJ since she was built.
That's why I bitch so much about the COE's operation of the lake.
