Our lake has risen over 20 ft. as of 12/20, a great ending to 2014, and an even better beginning of 2015! Although the water is muddy by the bridge where the main runoff is, down by the dam the visibility looks amazing. Even during the recent storms which brought more than 10 inches of rain, people are actually catching fish!

Mason Severson and his friend Kevin brought in Mason’s 4 lb. 12 oz. trout which he caught on PowerBait while anchored in near the last remaining island in our lake! Kevin caught one too but his line got wrapped around the prop and he lost it Mason said.
