Lake draw down

8gv · 09-08-2015, 01:30 PM

Cruising through the channel at Weirs recently, I think I saw the depth gauge indicate about 12" below "full lake". Am I to understand that it will drop a few more inches to 15" in the next few weeks? Or, does the current level indicate that Lake Winni will be even lower this year?

My outdrive wants to know :-)

I hear ya. At my dock I currently have about 6"-8" of water under the rudder of my V-drive. Any lower and it will be the end of the season early for me, unless I feel like gambling a prop of course.

I spoke to the marina yesterday when dropping off my boat as it was a sad day for us in doing so but child sports take precedence.
He stated that almost 40 customers that usually have their boat in much later had either dropped off or called for pickup because they could not get into their docks or on their lifts

According to Bizer's website (www.bizer.com), as of 9/10/15 the lake level is only fractionally lower than the norm for this time of year.
