It filled up early last summer (had been low 3-4 yrs prior?) I think it was 1/2 ft over? but by fall it was at least a foot low.

I'm right there with u on praying melvern is next, it needs some inflow to stain it, and get it at least back to normal, or above!Quote:

Nothing shallow, just a few in 13 fow 1 foot off the bottom. The main part of the lake is getting muddy with all the run off 4000gps coming in the waulky.
Capt. Dan,
Here is the latest and I bet its still raising. I saw Melvern and Pomona are going up fast also. Finally some inflow, should really help the fish to have current and nutrients to swim in!

new groceries for a lot of lakes thanks mother nature
Melvern three feet above pool, lucky Corps still holding water. lots of areas for fingerlings to hide and eat. Good news has to help
Hopefully they continue to hold it above pool for a while until the little guys have a chance to grow enough to take care of themselves. It has been several years since we have had water this high during/right after the spawn. We needed it for sure.Quote:

Anyone else going to be on Clinton this weekend? Cool rainy days might keep the pleasure boaters and drunks inside away.
Thinking on hitting Clinton this weekend. Either launching before sunrise or as the rain ends. Need a couple boatloads of Whites for the freezer so I can focus on big fish.Quote:

I have not heard that but they do get some of their water from the Lake.Quote:

That's just what I have been told through the years. Could be incorrect, but would explain the low water levels of late.Quote:
