Man I really hope our lakes go back to normal. Because I really want a new waverunner In a few years.

There's too much demand on Lavon now. Even if it fills up it'll just go back down rather quickly if there's any period at all without rain. They really need more supply, another lake. The NTWMD has been talking about a new reservoir called Bois D'Arc out in Fannin county but they're having trouble getting all the land purchased. It's been in planning for 10-15 years I think.

We've had a pretty wet winter and we all know that spring will bring the stroms from the NW that should help our western counties...

Just looked up Whitney Lake Level... still down nearly 10 feet. C'mon rain!

It's up a little and a little higher than it was this time last year.... Hopefully we get a good spring to bring it up. Our ramp hasn't seen the water in 2-3 years.

Not the best thing to one-up, but we're fucked here in CA in terms of water sports. We need rain in a bad way.

What's up svo855? Haha jk...man I've seen reports that CA isn't just worried about surface water but also Well water. They're building a massive desalination plant there right?

Mom was posting pictures of her boat house and dock under water on Lake Palastine.

Speaking of lakes, hows Lake Travis? It was looking pretty sad in early November when I was there...

54.6 feet down...we don't even bother with it for now.

We just hit up the town lake park area or somewhere in the hill country. Got back from wimberly and Fredericksburg not too long ago and it was great.

What sucks is how little time it actually takes to wipe out those lakes. It can literally be safe for boating one season...then 12 feet down the next.

YEA !!!!

We still more rain.

Yup, a fair amount.

Yeah RD, that's true. Some lakes let too much go (i.e. Texoma) for power generation, some too much water is taken - but ultimately you can't assume it'll be good next year, even if it is flooding this year.

Good to see. Lavon was looking pretty hopeless the last few times I was that way.
