crappieperchhunter Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 What the hell??? Ive never seen levels that low, and theres not much to melt!! S. Never seen it this low either. Gonna have to find some new crappie spots this spring I think. Welcome back BTW. Hope the vacation was awesome.
ecmilley Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 they took a couple logs out of the dam today in lindsay river was up at least two feet looks nothing like it did earlier in the week its all water shore to lock now, this outta help blow out the river and bea good start to breaking up goose
linweir Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Cameron Lake is so low at the Rosedale end I can't put my boat in yet. How about Fenelon Fall side? Plan to launch my boat there.
esoxansteel Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 Went for a short drive to check out 2 spots I fish for Gills and Crappies, both were mud, with no water what so ever, even the creek arm that dumps into it wasn't flowing, and im off tomorrow so I guess I will be tying softball size roebags with 8 rattles per bag LOL, unless I can find some clear lake water, wait 50 to 80 km winds, not very likely
Sinker Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I wonder how low they will drop scugog now? What a mess this is going to be. S.
SirWhite Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 I dunno, dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. How did it work before all the locks were put in place. Was there an annual flood or did things run according to nature. Ummm, isn't the Trent system man made? As in the lakes didn't connect through a river that can be traversed by boat?
Sinker Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 The trent severn waterway is indeed man-made, but there has always been a watershed there. At one time atlaantic salmon could run all the way up to what is now balsam lake. S.
Paudash Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 with all the rain last night I hope it helped
aznphil Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 could it be that the past several years the flooding has been excessive, and the water engineers think they can be smart by pulling the plug earlier this year to prevent flooding?
Big Cliff Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Going to be a very interesting year, the ice is desolving very quickly perhaps because of the rain and wind. Three days ago I'd have walked across the lake here, today I wouldn't step off the shore.
fishermccann Posted April 11, 2015 Report Posted April 11, 2015 There was no water going over the Rosedale dam , from Balsam into Cameron, none, yesterday/Saturday. Balsam was 3 feet higher than Cameron.
ecmilley Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Posted April 12, 2015 The spawn is on, this week they have managed to bring sturgeon up about 2 ft it has broken up the ice for 20-30 ft of shoreline around my house and this afternoonwas whatchin the walleyes swim up lookin for a female then swim back under the ice, hopefully water levels stay consistent over the next 10-14 days so the eggs have a chance
fishermccann Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Close to normal water levels at the Rosedale end of Cameron now, water over the dam and all. Good enough to put the pontoon boat in the water this coming week. Edited April 25, 2015 by fishermccann
