Does anyone know if it is flooded like the rest of the lakes around Central Texas. The water data said it 2 feet low still. My friend at R. C. said they got 81/2" of rain but the lake is not flooded, it was down so that they were pumping in water two weeks ago. With all the lake around Waco and Belton flooded looking for a place to go fish.

Limestone, RC, CC are all constant level lakes, they have to pull the water down to keep the houses built around it from flooding. All those brazos river chain lakes are flood control lakes and they will let them flood, thats what they were built for.

Chambers and Cedar Creek fluctuate quite a bit. They are not constant level lakes. They are water supply lakes.

Constant level was not the right term for RC or CC your right, LBJ is constant level, I think squaw creek too, they will pump water in to those to keep them from getting low. They used to pump water into Fairfield from the trinity too. They will not let RC, CC or Limestone get high.

I was there yesterday. It appears to still be 2 feet or so low.
The Navasota river feeds Limestone and it is flowing hard right now. Have to be aware of floating logs, etc as well.
I would still be concerned with submerged timber in some areas.
Problem not a bad choice to just get out, but with dirty water etc, fishing might be tough.

Limestone is still very low, but there is at least water under the dock now.

Good site, thanks. Just checked it's accuracy against Water Data for Texas. It was spot on.

What ramp is the best to launch from when coming from the west (Waco area) ??
Looks like alot of submerged timber according to Navionics.
Is there any kind of grass, hydrilla etc ??

No grass. Use the main lake side ramp by the bridge and stay in the middle lane. i would also avoid the lake because there is 2 100 boat tournaments the next two weekends
