I am puzzled by the "perception" that the lake is low. When I look at the usual tells that I use, it does not give that impression. What does seem different this year is that we spent much more of the year at higher levels. Perhaps it is the recent faster rate of change that makes it seem lower. It is more like when your kid grows 6 inches in one summer, you really notice it. Obviously, this does not explain why people are having trouble with their boats. It would seem they would have this problem every year.

I like it when they keep the lake about 6 inches below full. My dock is happier in the waves and the prop is happier above the bottom.
