Lowest Table Rock Level - Month/year

[*T*]

Someone in the know? Lowest lake level, plus month & year. What was bite like then. How did that impact bite following years. Seems like late 70s it was around 896. Obviously not including levels when in fill stages. Thanks.

when we moved here in 1963 the eagle rock dock was sitting in the actual river channel. i do not know what the lake level was then. one other year, i can remember it got to 896,could have been less than that, and the fishing was really good. same amount of bass in less water.

About 15ish years ago it got super low to the point that almost half of owl creek didn't exist. I don't remember the exact year or level though. I'd like to see pics of it. I'd kinda like to see it again actually.

I'm not sure but this may be the time the guy made the videos of the entire lake.

I have no idea what the bite would have been like, but for the high level and low level this is recorded at Shell Knob also included is the shoreline.

Highest lake lever: April 27, 2011 (935.47)
Lowest lake level: February 5, 1965 (881.54)

Table Rock Lake shoreline length at 915: 745 miles
Table Rock Lake shoreline length at 931: 857 miles

i wanted to say that i thought it had been in the 880's, but could not remember just for sure. thanks for finding that. i am sure wanting to say that it got back down around 888 another year in the 70's. i think a big draw down would help get rid of some of the brown sludge like material that coats the bottom now. we use to have very clean rocks, but the bottom is coated with a brown gunk, just as what timber is left.

That would be my only concern, timber. A big draw down might cause more damage to the shallower trees.

Or it would cause far more tree's to pop up I love low water it makes being a brush farmer much easier and that harvest is always beneficial

I was in the service but sometime when I was home in the mid 80's the lake was as low as I've ever seen it. I seem to remember Eagle Rock dock was setting on the ground or pretty close to it.

Also a good point!
