The water level is very low. The official word is the lake is 28 inches below summer pool. I think anyone who knows anything about the lake can see the level is lower than that. I would say the lake is down 36 to 42 inches. There are places that I wade in the spring that right now would not get my ankles wet. I had a "regular" in the shop yesterday that has a 16' Lund deep-v and he said he had no problems launching at Orchard. Small boats can still be launched at Espyville and Manning. Snodgrass is getting tougher.

Regardless of the level, anglers who have gotten out have reported decent success. Numerous anglers have reported decent walleye bite in 12 to 14-feet of water. Most ‘eye success has been when drfiting with worm harnesses and floating jigheads. Some reports of Hot N’Tots and Bombers producing walleye as well.

Crappies have been reported along the causeway. Most crappies success is a minnow under a bobber, along with some on jig-n-minnow, too. Perch have been reported off Billy Q.

Catfish are being landed by using nightcrawlers or suckers.

I was there from 8:30pm to 1:15am last night and we fished by the nursery and caught 1 carp (imagine that). Fishing was horrible there last night. I never seen the water so low up there before. Aside from not catching anything and having multiple snags, it was atleast a comfortable night.

Boy, I wish our lakes here only dropped a couple feet during the course of a year. Today Lake Pleasant is 27 feet below the full level it was at the last time I was there in February.

The lakes on the Salt River (Apache, Canyon, and Saguaro Lakes) are all full. The lakes on the Verde River are either EMPTY (Horseshoe Lake) or at 44% capacity (Bartlett Lake). Lake Pleasant is on the Agua Fria River and is at 66% capacity 27 feet below pool.

The more I read about the Arizona waters, the more I love Michigan LOL

I sure wish I had the variety of waters to choose from that Michiganders do, but you won't be out in the boat fishing Thanksgiving weekend, and all through the winter like I will. And the lakes will be rising and much higher by then as well.

So, think this batch of rain will bring it up much? Lol! You need to be our official checker Chris!

Most of the rain is staying east of Pymie!!! We need quite a bit to make a difference.
