I believe my childhood memories fall right in the middle of that Sue.
Thank you.

So this morning I checked the DES website and decided to see how fast the lake is going down.... in 24 hours the lake dropped 0.06 ft. or about 3/4 of an inch.....
As of this morning they are not stating any changes to the release rates..... so with the lake at 504.63 and full pool at 504.32, we still need to loose about .3 feet or 3.6 inches.... which at the current rate will take about 5 days.... of course if they change the outflow or we get another big rainstorm that thought will go right out the door.....

Measure Twice...
From the bottom of my piling dock, the lake has dropped about 6 inches.
Sunning at the end of my dock, an unseen boat still mamaged to make a wake that washed over the entire length of the dock! Later, I watched an oversized boat approach a nearby (and new) hard-covered dock. I asked myself, "Isn't that skipper going to lose his radar dome?" "Bonk!" answered my question. |

That sounds expensive, let alone the cost of having a "Boat House".....

I'm on Waukewan and the lake went up 6" from Friday nights monsoons but I noticed Winni was lower! I'm not sure if they slowed the rate of flow at Mill Falls?

I hope the level will now drop slowly so we can boat well into the fall. Don't you just hate it when all those rocks start growing bigger right after Labor Day?

Right now they still have the dam releasing ~1250 cfs, which is enough to keep the lake dropping if we don't have more rain... If I look at the lake level it is not dropping as fast as it was last week.... but it is droping a little What this says to me is they are trying to find the balance now, so that they can keep the lake steady, by matching the incoming water to the out going water...... I am sure the folks down stream want to see their lakes go down as well.....

If you look at the Bizer Lake Level charts you can see that the Winni water level is drawn down beginning in mid July through mid October. Why? To prepare Winni to be able to absorb the spring melt and typical spring rains and act as a buffer for downstream. Why start so early? Because it takes a long time to draw down Winni 15 inches without causing addition downstream flooding. Plus it gives more time to manage unusual amounts of rain.
So the dam management people are now thinking of a slow and steady drawdown, not keeping it at a high level. |

I'm a little surprised that we haven't heard much about people running into the Witches with the water so high this summer.
