Current Lake Conditions

[Ham]

Water like other things rolls downhill. BSL is the last big retaining pond and they have been getting a lot of water down south. Looks like a great summer for throwing streamers and jerkbaits on the White.

I had asked about a sticky thread on ramps usable at what water level (high and low) before.

I got minimal response. The COE ought to have a chart, but I bet they don't.

i know right now there's about 3' left of the new ramp at theodosia, the old corps park ramp has been totally under for weeks, spring creek had just a few feet of ramp left a few days ago

all the courtesy docks at these ramps are usually accessible

watch out for floating logs and debris now again

Spring Creek ramp is usable, no problems. The new ramp at Buck Creek is usable, but a pain in the butt due to the big rockpiles the corps put on either side of it that are now flooded and about 1' deep. The older ramp at buck creek is under water, but the road to it works just fine, only no courtesy dock there.

Oakland was under water at 667, but it gets usable off the downslope at ???. Pontiac should be ok for a few more feet. Jimmy Creek should be ok until the road to it floods out. I would bet the ramp closest to the dam is not usable now. CR15 is toast but there is a long steep on in Howard Creek that is got to still be good.

There is still plenty of space left to launch at the gravel launch in big creek. Put in there yesterday for a 6 hour trip. Caught about 15 all browns and greens, no kys. Still caught a few in the bushes, but had my best luck deeper. Best was a 3.5lbs smallie. Also had a largemouth about the same size. It had a 5pounder head with a 3 pounder body... Lakes high but the fish are still biting. I had one spot the size of a pick up truck I caught 6 smallies off of in about 20fow.

Can still launch in the campground at Lead Hill, plus if the water gets really high there's a new high water ramp that was built after the high water a few years ago. So far we haven't needed it. May need it soon.

New ramp at Theodosia under water but usable. Old core ramp flooded but usable, minimal parking. Courtesy doc ok on both.

[Fish24/7]

lake is swallowing up the Theodosia park area, getting diff. to launch , but still usable

[Ham]

Fish 24/7 what is the lowest the Theodosia ramp is usable and what is the highest that you can use the regular ramp? I know you can launch off the downslope at some magical super high water level, but what is the max to use the normal ramp.

[Fish24/7]

dunno off the top of my head but I can try to find out
