2015 Water Levels
It's that time of year. The constant query as to the water level for the coming year. How do I know. It still looks like a white topped parking lot out there. However, I took the liberty of dialing up the LOTWs Water Control Board's information. http://www.lwcb.ca/pdf/LakeoftheWood...2015.03.20.pdf They show it currently a few inches below normal for right now. But, as you know, it can change in a heartbeat. Not much snow this year yet to melt, so baring any unusual rain activity, draw your own conclusion.

Lol. Crystal ball getting a bit cloudy Frank?
-
Not me. Never venture a guess.

My guess is it will be different from last year.

Nice! Hope I get to ride in it a day or two!

Unless it rains 40 days, and 40 nights.

Really, really low. Some of you may remember using the chain bolts as a reference to water depth. The bolts are now visible, and you can see just how much lower the water is. The ice next to the chain is sitting on a rock, and is not in the water, and is much higher than the water level. Have been to Young's Bay recently, and not much water in the harbor. All of the snow melted, so runoff done for the year. It’s all in the rain now........

Count on it Doug!
Heading out with Mike Ruffs(Mr Rad Dog)son to check it out a bit on some white bass locally in the AM.He's a techy of sorts and can help me get things functioning correctly.Man those touch screens seem nice though so far.

Here are some views from the ramp we use in the winter. You can see just how far the mud goes out. Should be well under water.

Now that the ice is melting around the shore, and becoming water, you can better see the water level. Don't totally panic on the floating dock picture. The dock section is disconnected from the barge, and is tied up about 25-30 feet towards shore.

So far so good on the motors.Just had the Boss out locally and she approves of the whole rig.Been awhile since I heard her giggling but white bass near every cast will do that.Wind went calm n the temp went up to 88 so we pulled out but loving the rig so far.
Heading to the Woods in a few days.
-
Very nice rig! Tis the season for black boats. Stay tuned.
-
Currently it looks like it as low now as it was high last year. Should be interesting to see how things shake out.

A lot can happen by then.

Going pretty quick. Bay is dissolving right before our eyes. Open water as of today:

Attachment 23707Good news is that I put my boat in Tim's spot today to fuel my boat. Awaiting a new hose for the main fuel hose. Bad news is that I had to use the trolling motor, held by hand at the surface, and barely made it in.
Can you say RAIN!!!!!!!

Here's what the LWCB has to say. Doesn't sound too promising.

With the north winds, it's all in Warroad.

I guess I can live with that.Remember,Batman is a Superhero.
In all modesty,I can live with this quote as well:"Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, an American billionaire, business magnate, and philanthropist."
-
Don't want to burst your bubble, but just had a customer refer to your new ride as the "BAT MOBILE".
Ron Burgandy is dead, long live Bruce Wayne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wind is way down, and the water levels up a few inches. Be interesting to get an actual number when the water control board publishes it on Thursday. But for sure, obviously up quite q bit.
-
Bets n I ran up for the weekend.What beautiful weather and we were reminded quickly what a beautiful place the Lake is.Water is up from what it was but still low.Appeared to be a lot of water in the fields,creeks n rivers to the south though so suspect the level will raise a bit more over the next week or so.
Our fearless leader took me out for a few hours yesterday afternoon and if our trip is an indication of what's to come,we can expect a great year of fishing.
I'm particularly excited cause gas for me will be cheap this year since I
discovered our old Alaskan will run on fumes.When we got here the 24 gallon tank took 23.9.
-
And $1.30 cheaper than last year, but who's counting........................

Please don't encourage him.Sometimes if one ignores him he goes away.Sometimes.
