I've never seen the water this low in the fall for so long. I'm not sure if it's in preparation for spring flooding by keeping it low for the winter or for working on the Carillon Damb below the reservoir.

Beautiful days this spring. I'm a little worried about a drought. The water level never changed in the reservoir above the damb

My auger blade needs to be sharpened so I wait for a fisherman to be finished with his ice hole after using a gas powered one. 😁

It's quite a late freeze. Personally, I wouldn't trust the ice till mid february, if that.

The water still low in the reservoir above the dam. No docks out yet.

Hopefully the next test will be off the end of the dock. 😄

The ice finally opened down the middle. It's been open for a while up River but we are near the reservoir for the dam and it's always the last to break up.
