Calif. Drought

[A-con]

Took this photo fishing this weekend.

The rock in the background, you see the line up about 70 feet above the surface of the lake, that's the normal high water mark.

You can now walk out on this rock, normally it's an island that you can troll around.

Wow, that's a lot of water gone. You ever seen it that low before?

Feeling your pain here in N Central Texas. Stage 5 with our primary lake below 20%. Hope we both get some relief soon.

I've never seen it this low, and this lake is part of a power project so they (the power co.) are keeping it at about 50%.
My two favorite lakes, much farther in the back country, are at 7% and 5%. I'm afraid it will take years for the fishing to come back.

Sorry to hear that.
