Then lake level drop is right where it should be this year.... they brought the lake to full level and have maintained roughly 250 cfs at the dam since then.... this is the minimum output from the dam, to keep everyone down stream happy.

Unfortunately there are some shallow spots on the lake. And if you own in them well you should have hopefully realized that when you bought. People have dealt with these lake levels for years and it hasn't been a problem until lately. It seems now that people want bigger boats because the dealers have scared everyone away from the 18-20 foot models that draft less water then the 22 - 26 foot models that they want to push on everyone to handle this "rough lake", people think that a historical water level should be changed. Well folks it just isn't that simple. Everything is built off the historic water level... My suggestion to those that have property in areas that have to deal with shallow water... Buy a boat that has an appropriate draft for the situation, at the worst time of year... the fall....

I don't mean to sound harsh here... but this is the reality of it folks. I have watch the dam operation improve greatly over the last few years... the Level is not getting jerked around, and they are doing their best to keep the lake as high as possible as long as possible, buy getting to minimum outflow as quick as possible... But once they are there... it is all up to mother nature... the lake with go up and down... on its own....
