Nope, still very low.
when does it normally fill up? was there 2 years ago around mid april and it was good. caught tail end of spawn i think but still managed to catch plenty fish shallow! then last year we didnt even fish it it was so low we ended up driving an hour every day to normandy
Was there today and it's still 5ft. below summer pool:mad: I've read somewhere on the internet about the dates and water level but can't remember where I read it. The wind killed us today. Be careful the lake has long points.
I found this. This is APRIL 1 it should be a joke
•Q: When does the lake drawdown occur and when is the water level raised again?
A: The J. Percy Priest drawdown typically begins in late September or early October at typical summer pool elevation between 489.5 and 490.5 feet above mean sea level (msl). The drawdown will continue until late November or early December to a winter pool elevation of approximately 483 feet above msl. The lake elevation will remain at winter pool until early March, when the lake elevation is gradually returned to summer pool. Lake elevations can fluctuate during this period because of seasonal rainfalls and other inflows.
