High flows in are breaking up the ice at the inlet and pushing the open water quickly down lake.

It won't be long now, could you tell if the water level is rising?

Nope. Dropping a lot. They are pushing it out fast to make room. No ice separation at the shoreline yet

If they are dropping the water level, it could take a little longer for that gap at the shoreline to appear but with these warm temps, it likely won't take long.
How is the water clarity of the river flowing in?

It was not to bad up higher but Chalk Creek is adding a lot of mud near the inlet.
