hotsky Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 I've been there a couple of weeks ago and water level was pretty low. At the dam that cement bad by the picnic table was at least 6" above water and it was impossible to lunch my inflatable with out me having to walk the boat for 50+ meters before I could get in and start paddling or use my TM. I was hoping after all the rain we had it would be a little higher now. Anyone been there recently?
Fish4Eyes Posted August 16, 2012 Report Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) Went last Friday and it was BRUTAL low. I arrived with my boat and didnt even bother trying to launch the boat. A monster truck would be required. Never saw it like this before. From my experiences, water levels have always been consistant in previous years. Our area got pelted pretty good this week with rain, wonder if Campelville got the same. Unless your using a canoe or a small boat that you can carry to the water, don't bother.

hotsky Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Posted August 16, 2012 I have an inflatable with a trolling motor but dont want to walk it like i said for 50 meters before i can get in.
rhymobot Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 good to know. i too have an inflatable and was thinking of going there this sunday. is it a working reservoir? is that why the water level is so low?
hotsky Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) There's a dam and water is always going thru - at least the times I've been there. I have a few days off next week so I'll go there again sometime. With the rain we had and less heat lately water has to be a little higher (hopefully). Edited August 18, 2012 by Gray_Wolf
Rich Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Farmers draw water off those reservoirs, and for the last month we were in drought. It will take some time to bring water levels back up. Good news is the fishing is unaffected.
d_paluch Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Diggin' up an old thread, but only because I don't feel the need to start a new one with the exact same topic! What's it like these days? I know we really haven't had much rain but just wanted to see if anyone ventured out that way recently. Would be nice if anyone could chime in so I don't waste gas and time for nothing Thanks a lot!
hotsky Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 I was there on Tue hasn't really changed - maybe couple of inches higher, but that's it.
d_paluch Posted October 13, 2012 Report Posted October 13, 2012 ah, so tough with a trolling motor I bet still might go sunday if the weather holds up...haven't caught a fish in over a month :|
