Took a look under 35 bridge yesterday, looks just about full. Even more than it use to be.

They are generating so the water comes up and down 3-4"s per day. It does seem higher. Some are speculating that everything dropped over the 4 1/2 years of the lake being down.

I wouldn't have believed it but a buddies dock literally sunk 12+". He set his dock to pictures using existing metal poles and not elevation and had to move his new dock up. It was an expensive mistake. He poured a concrete dock and had to break it out, raise the structure, and repour.

There supposed to restock the lake, but don't know what time table were talking about. I think it will be awhile before you start catching fish consistently.

Restocking will begin early spring from what we have been told. There are several organizations funding it including PLDA, which is a lake organization.

The state said sometime back it would be early spring.

There is more bait in the lake than we have ever seen so I do think it will come back quicker than we expect but it will still be years to get quality fish.

Minnows and shad. Very few perch or beam.... All that I have seen are 2-3 inches long.
