Hopefully it wasn’t an elderly person that had a medical issue. Hope nobody got hurt or killed

That’s what I was hoping, that it wasn’t a medical issue that caused it. Hope everyone is alright

Stupid people do stupid things I guess.

Thanks KP for a verified report. A friend on the lake said he can notice the level is starting to come up.

Got my minnow tank ready and about 250 Buckeyes to start. Getting new filters for it this year. The tank holds 90 gallons. Now just need some wind to send that ice to the beach

Water level up 0.11 inch since closing the gates.  Needs lots of rain to get it to full pool level..

I was on Shaw point this morning. The water level is still down from the shoreline about 12-15’ .... maybe more. which would make the lake level about 2-3’ low, maybe?

According to the graph it’s about 1’ below the 4/1 target level and 2’ below the summer target level. This rain will definitely help. With the gates closed this time of year it should come up steadily. We are lucky that they can regulate it this well. People complain about it but if you look at the graph through the year they keep it rather steady.

It looks like that ice might do some moving on Friday.

[Deadeyez]

It is definitely slowly coming up. I haven’t been watching the charts or graphs, but I have been watching the amount of sandbars sticking out of the water slowly submerging over the past couple of days.
