All,

This is an FYI:
Water level is the lowest i have ever seen.
Many of the structures are exposed thru the ice.

Are they planning a repair of the dam?

Repair....They( division of water) will never return the reservoir to the glory she once was.

Long time ago there was discusion of them reducing the levels to where they are now and eventually basically making it a marsh by the time they were done.
Honestly though, never thought they would do it. They appear to be heading in that direction now after all these years.

It's been that low since ice out last year (2014) I heard there was another breach somewhere and that why it was lowered to where it is now. I know you could t get a boat in early spring bc of the big boulders on the ramp but they came with a back hoe and moved them about the first of May. Fishing was decent this year. Caught some eyes and perch lots of crappie. But it's sad to see it this way. All of it only runs 8ft or so deep now.
