lake levels?

i was down at barkley this past weekend and the water seemed to me like it was way too low for this time of year. i put out some crappie attractors in january the level was 354.6 supposedly winter pool. i put them in 8 ft of water they are 4 ft tall. saturday they were 2 feet out of the water. whats going on?

The corp of eng. is still maintaining winter pool levels.

Barkely is right at winter pool. You can see the levels here: http://lakeinfo.tva.gov/htbin/lakein...bmit=View+info

Also here is a graph of what it's been the last year and this year so far. It was a couple feet high at the most in late Jan.

The black line is last year, the red line is this year, and the gray band is what they try to maintain in non-flood conditions.
