Since the sluice/ conduit gates are closed then maybe there's going to be some fishable water now.

Fishing was great, but I suspect would have been better if they had not been pulling it down. It all worked out,

It appears the were running the generators fairly hard & now they are backing off.

At some point, I suspect they will continue normal generation.

Having seen multiple rec areas around the lake I can't imagine it being 10 feet high without hurting a lot of people's feelings, Lol. Bull coming up 15 foot and its business as usual.

One generator just came back online the other day. The mega water was coming out of the conduit gates.
