Re: Extremely Low Lake Level
there is a really interesting Lake Champlain level graph that the weather service has on their website... tracking current lake level and historic records... lake level right now is a little below average (97.5' for today) but 2019 was unusually high. If I remember correctly, even though 2019 didn't hit the highest-ever lake level, it set a record for longest time the lake was above flood level, and was a few feet above normal in May and June.

I do not exaggerate when I talk about fishing - I underestimate, like I say "just one more cast honey, then I'll come home" !

We could use more
Water in the lake but I wish Burlington would
Leave the finless browns out of the flow...

One of those harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.

Re: Extremely Low Lake Level
I noticed the swamps of East Slang looked a little low last weekend and the vegetation was taking over.
Re: Extremely Low Lake Level
There was snow in the mountains last year.
Wasnt that much this year. Makes a big difference.
Water temps will jump up soon.

My first time launching at Van Tines today in 10 years. Plenty of water.

Re: Extremely Low Lake Level
Wish that launch they'd put in a floating dock, it's a hard one to deal with going solo with prevailing winds pushing the hull right back up on the concrete...ugh!digitroll (ron) wrote:My first time launching at Van Tines today in 10 years. Plenty of water.

Re: Extremely Low Lake Level
Same with Georgia access.. All rocks!
Re: Extremely Low Lake Level
Yes indeed, and with westerly prevailing winds at both Vantine's & Van Everest you'd think they'd understand this is important enough to put docks in.digitroll (ron) wrote:Same with Georgia access.. All rocks!
