    Default East Fork lake level


    Hey guys, I took Monday off thinking I might get out fishing for the first time this year. I see where EF is at 744ft this morning. My question is I have never fished it above summer pool. Is it possible to launch a boat, are the ramps open, or is it even worth fishing when its this high? I normally launch from the Boar's head ramp. Thanks in advance for your help and comments.

    I heard Boar's Hear is still iced in. Tate Ramp (Bantam) is blocked I guess due to high water and here's a pic of the ramp at the dam.
    The ice is starting to break up pretty good in the lower end of the lake and it's still over 50% covered and I could still see ice up is some of the coves when I drove over the dam.
    You can always catch fish if you find them but I'd wait a week till it clears some of ice.

    They pretty much stopped pulling water since the Ohio River is above flood stage. It's going to keep rising until the river starts to recede.

    If you can find it...the stop signs are 10' under water.
    I noticed last night that they are starting to pull the water pretty hard right now.
