Any locals out there have a report on rising lake level?

It's up 3' since 7am this morning.

3' as in 3 feet? Good grief in 4 hrs? Wish I was there to raise my boat a little higher on the lift.

I think he meant 3" according to my web Site. Still needs 5'.

LAKE STILL CLOSED ! ! ! !

Whoa,,,,Someones pulling something here. I'm new to Pal, but it is my understanding PePop is the only person that can close LakePal??

But the lake is on a nice rise and I'm hoping at least a foot over the next couple of days. Think positive.

I was out there the other day out at Pine Cove. I have never seen that lake so dry. I'll keep you guys in my prayers. Y'all are gonna need it to fill that lake up by summer.

That's true, but I haven't seen where he has opened it yet. So it must still be closed. I know for a fact that Pepop went to LOP last weekend, because Palestine was closed. He's going to Lake Sandlin in the next few weekends. So, I ASSUME that Lake Palestine is still closed. Maybe Next Year...

If he's gonna be gone maybe he can deputize you to open for us sometime.

OMG, I can't make such BIG decisions. I'm just on the Palestine Posse Board Of Directors. Decisions are above my pay grade. Pepop is the brains of the outfit. Oh Man, all this pressure is beginning to give me hives. I haft to go lay down....

Well, I hope nobody squeals, but while he's been gone I'e been slipping in on the south end and catching a few

I've been carefull not to catch but a few so he wouldn't miss them when he returns.

Uh Oh.... Y'all better watch out!!! Pepop knows where they all are!! He'll miss them for sure!! Lol

You are fighting a losing battle with the water level. You know everytime you sneak one of them monster crappie out the water level drops.

You guy's are so funny!

OK we'll figure out who the sheriff is later, now back to the lake level. What we know is the lakes still closed and we have one vote for 3' up and one for 3". Either my boat has floated off the lift by now or it still doesn't have any water under it. Any more estimates??

CORRECTION, 3"!!!

Just playin around, figured it was a typo. Thanks

Poeple dont realize the size of Palestine's watershed.

If you are ever on 64 east just outside the loop of Tyler there are a couple of small ponds at the CB&I offices. All the water from there and the surrounding neighborhood/Clarkston Elementary ends up in Lake Palestine

How does that get to Palestine?

its doesnt.

Would you care to bet $100 on the fact it does???

I must of missed something or just not understanding this map... Where did this lake come from east of Jacksonville and south of Lake Tyler East & West???

That lake is not there yet....

Probably never will with all the Ijits worrying about the tree frogs and Sallymanders!!!!

Wish they would though... I got my spot marked for some water front property on the NE end of the lake.


Any bets yet?? I'll take 10 bets or just bump the bet up to any amount!!!

I've lost count. When did the planning begin on Lake Columbia? It seems like it was in the early 1980s.

i'd bet 100,000,000,000.00 on it. i work for the Corps of engineers
