Yes, we are actually at winter pool, which is low as hell, but still!
We are actually way below winter pool, (about 15 ft), check out this
graph to see current, forecasted and average lake levels

That doesn't include the drawdown, Reggie.



The redline showing the average, does include the normal drawdown, and
is the actually average of lake levels.

I normally keep my boat in the water during the winter, and on nice days
would enjoy a nice cruise just to anchor and read a book, or have lunch
on the lake. I have never seen the lake this low, including the last
major drought we had in the early 80's.

If you visit this site, you can see all of the historical data from 1956
to 2008. We really are 15 ft. below the normal winter low.
