oneshot Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I have never seen Truman Lake this Low.Went over by Fairfield Ramp,this just East of the Ramp. oneshot
Guest csfishinfool Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the lake is only like 2 feet low right now. Normal elevation is 706, and its 704 and some change. Truman is a flood control lake, the bank line is bare because the last couple of springs the lake has been anywhere from 7-20 ft high.
fishinwrench Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 LOL, Yeah it's only 6 inches lower than it was this time last year.
oneshot Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Ok one Cove I was fishing in last year at this time there is no water there,one Ramp I was using last year water an't even close to it and I'm seeing dirt where I never have on the Lake.Plus was talking with a Guy at Bass Pro and he said he couldn't believe how low the Lake was durring Firearms Deer Season last year. Something isn't adding up. oneshot
shaker Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 COE says 704.49' at 19:30CDT 08-20-12 that's 1 1/2 feet low I have never seen Truman lower that 2 ft down. Might this year, everybody is so use to seeing Truman above normal that's it hard to adjust to the present conditions. There is a lot of shallow water on Truman when it's normal now is the time to get out and look around and find some things that you have been missing. Richard
fishinwrench Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Guys! I was mistaken. Truman is currently 704.6 Wanna know what the lake level was on Aug.20 2011 (last year) ? It was exactly the same, 704.6 November (deer season) 2011 it got down to 704.1 or thereabouts.
emjay Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 With water being so low, it might be a good time to go scouting for better fishing spots for next spring.
oneshot Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 With water being so low, it might be a good time to go scouting for better fishing spots for next spring.
