Will it get to pool? Its been a long time since it was, at least 4-5 years. Lets hope Melvern is next.

It filled up early last summer (had been low 3-4 yrs prior?) I think it was 1/2 ft over? but by fall it was at least a foot low.

I'm right there with u on praying melvern is next, it needs some inflow to stain it, and get it at least back to normal, or above!

I was at Clinton today but the wind kept me inside the marina cove. The lake is at full pool if not just over as the bank is into the weeds that have grown up.
Nothing shallow, just a few in 13 fow 1 foot off the bottom. The main part of the lake is getting muddy with all the run off 4000gps coming in the waulky.

Capt. Dan,

Here is the latest and I bet its still raising. I saw Melvern and Pomona are going up fast also. Finally some inflow, should really help the fish to have current and nutrients to swim in!

Melvern three feet above pool, lucky Corps still holding water. lots of areas for fingerlings to hide and eat. Good news has to help

Hopefully they continue to hold it above pool for a while until the little guys have a chance to grow enough to take care of themselves. It has been several years since we have had water this high during/right after the spawn. We needed it for sure.

3.2 feet over pool, hopefully the COE don't drop it too fast.
Anyone else going to be on Clinton this weekend? Cool rainy days might keep the pleasure boaters and drunks inside away.

Thinking on hitting Clinton this weekend. Either launching before sunrise or as the rain ends. Need a couple boatloads of Whites for the freezer so I can focus on big fish.
I've heard there's some strange deal about Clinton where the release is influenced by the city somehow.
