Quillback Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Just took a look at the level chart, it's dropped almost a foot in the last week. Muddy Water 1
Macsimus Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Is that typical for this time of year (ie, fall draw-down)? If so, how far will they normally drop it? Muddy Water 1 "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."
Quillback Posted November 30, 2017 Author Posted November 30, 2017 If my memory is correct, I believe last winter they took it down to about 906 or so. I don't know if that is normal policy or not, but it would not surprise me to see it down there again this year. Muddy Water 1
Macsimus Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks Quill. Just hoping they don't go down that far this year. Makes the Cow Creek ramp too steep for launching. "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."
176champion Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Yep they took it down to 906 last year and it stayed there for a long time it seemed..Big M courtesy Dock was almost over to the Big M marina if you remember...Maybe i won't get my feet wet now putting in. I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
dblades Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 I think they are running a few generators, finally.
Browning Guy Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Hope they drop it to 900'..... makes for better arrowhead hunting, err, uh..... I mean looking for lures with the kids. Ya, that's what I meant, lure hunting. It also helps those of us who put out brush piles and rock piles. Hoping to set up a "dump bed" on the beater pontoon I have for putting piles out. It would be nice to have a hydraulic set up somehow, just need to figure out the mechanical side. 906' last year for sure. Google earth has a photo from space with us putting piles out on the James. The lengths people will go to in order to find your brush/rock piles! Down and side imaging isn't enough they have to monitor you from a satellite now. MoCarp, magicwormman and vernon 3

I didn't realize people were allowed to put out piles.... I knew the core did it on occasions. Interesting.
magicwormman Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 In the olden days, they always dropped the lake about 10 feet. This always helped make room for the spring rains and aid Mr. Browning in building rock and brush piles. I think in the last few years, it's more about the need to generate electricity.
