Has anybody seen what the lake looks like the last few days? I have had my new Seaark for a month now and been itching to get it out and start the motor break in. With the weather we have had I was wondering if it was decent enough to run 20-30 mph in tomorrow. Thanks

Green river is ok.
Assuming Taylorsville is also.

Was there a few hours this morning. It’s heavily stained with a decent bit of floating debris on the lower end near the dam. Not horrible, but saw a few nice logs floating in addition to all the leaves. With calm weather shouldn’t have much of a problem seeing and avoiding anything large. Not sure if conditions will change with them pulling the lake down though.

Yeah, it will have an effect with them pulling the lake back down. Any wind, waves, or current present will take the floating debris up against a bank where it may get stuck on until the water comes back up enough to float that debris once again.Quote:

Here's this morning's level chart :

Concentrate on the middle section of the chart and you'll see last year's levels thru the month of March & April 2020 (far left end) .... and the yo-yo effect of the water levels (that lasted until June before they leveled out and stayed consistent for more than a day or two).
This webpage shows 2019 & 2020 levels ... and as you can see on it, the lake levels of 2019 were even higher during the same timespan. Taylorsville Lake Water Level
I have been chomping at the bit to get my new boat wet for a month now. I think I might give it a go tomorrow and try to start getting the motor thru break in before the real nice weather starts hitting. Thanks

Been working a lot of overtime and weekends and the weather hasn’t cooperated much. It’s really testing my patience. LolQuote:

I was surprised to be honest after ice and snow melt. Water was 38.8 degrees when I first got started. Anyhow just wanted to follow up on how it was. We got a downpour yesterday so I imagine that will change it for a bit.
