Water Levels

Too soon to panic, but looking at my permanent dock and then the Bizer water level chart, it’s clear that we’ve got a very long way to go to get to full lake. Yes, this is the time of year when the lake typically rises with the spring runoff. But we’re starting from a lower point than typical, and we have not had a lot of precipitation this winter or recently.... Lakeport is only releasing 600 CFS right now which is very low and suggests to me that we’ve got very little mountain run off filling the pool right now and even slowing the outflow isn’t having a lot of impact - at least not yet.
