lake level is around 965(10/10/08) about 25 ft down.normal pool is around 990.i am from eastern ky and our club will be fishing our classic out of the dandridge ramp the first weekend of november.water levels should be ok to launch from dandridge.also dont ask for a fishing report from the locals on this lake.they are tight lipped and if they do post what the fish are being caught on dont believe it.i have never fished douglas in the fall but if it like the spring of the year it could be great.
