I was at the river today and youโre right thereโs no change in the water level. I imagine some of it is going to Lake Murray. But Lake Murray is not really rising that much in water level. I think they keep it pretty low still, but I noticed it was a little higher last week than normal. The mystery is where is the other water going?

I think they are just forcing the boaters not to use the lake so they can close that lake completely also

I think it's being put into San V. A friend of mines went to San V last Friday and said the Aquaduct was wide open there.

The city has this site where you can check water levels thru automated sensors they have in place for Miramar, El Cap, Hodges and San V. This is pretty neat.
I fished it today and had no problem putting my boat in the water. 19โ6โ champion, on my way in I felt like I ran over some thing, I stoped and trimmed my motor up and the prop was tangled with some ones anchor rope, why some one would leave that floating around in the lake.
Lake road is getting closer & closer to nearly impossible too

Wonder if it'll be like shooting fish in a barrell for the kayak crowd or if there will be a dye off.

I believe the El Cap water goes to Murray and is turned into drinking water. Remember that Mayor Toad Glorious said he doesn't want to buy any water from up north, he would rather drain our lakes down! He's not a big fan of fisherman. The council doesn't really care either, all their talk about passing the budget was in benefitting the walkers and joggers at Murray and Miramar...NO talk about benefitting fisherman! They will turn on us in a minute, in case you thought they really cared about us fisherman!
