Just need to know the conditions at the ramps and such. Is Ramp 1 open or under water, etc.?
When the water level gets 10-12 feet above summer pool, ramp #1 becomes difficult to unload. When the water gets high enough the corps will close the gate and deny access to the ramp. I have not been to ramp #1 to varify conditions but I would "ASSUME" it is closed or unusable. 675 summer pool, on 4-30 the lake was 690.72...lake is almost 16ft over summer pool.
Lone Valley,Emerald Isle Marina and Butler creek ramp is your best choice for loading/unloading in high water.
I have not been to the lake since tuesday, but I did get a water report friday. Mid lake is clear in areas, even with all the rain from the last couple of weeks. There is some stained and muddy water, but from what I was told most of the lake has good/decent color.
Thanks R19, I appreciate that.
We launched at the state park ramp. Ramp itself is under water. And the parking area at the ramp is partially flooded.
Did you do any good....I didn't make it out there this weekend
My partner and I had five that would probably have gone 13 - 14 pounds. Plus we caught a lot of short bass.
