Taking my father in law fishing Thursday havnt seen anything about patman this year how is the fishing is the water high or low any advice is appreciated

I looked it up and pool stage in 220.6 above sea level, the latest data I could find shows it being @ just short of 228 feet, so she's high by about 7 plus feet.. It's another one of those lakes on my bucket list that I haven't been to yet.

When is the last time someone remembers that lake not being above full pool?

Well dang i hope that dont hurt the fishing being its 7ft high

Patman showing 7’ over does not always mean 7’. It has seasonal levels and I believe there is a 5’ difference between winter and summer pool. So if they are still showing winter pool then the lakes around 2’ over.

All that being said I have no idea what the 2 pool elevations are or when they swap. I just know that in the winter many years ago I went to the lake expecting it to be 2’ above pool and it was mud banks for miles.

It looks like they have it divided into 4 different pool levels. Makes it tough to know what to expect.

High Water in the 60-70's.... It would be hard to put down the frog rod

I live in Delta County and almost every drop of water that doesn’t soak in winds up in that lake. I could understand why that lake stays at or above pool stage. The North, Middle, and South Sulphur Rivers send a lot of water that way especially if the flood gates are open on Cooper.
