Here are a couple of water levels photos taken today, August 31: The first one is from Glendale taken from the point east of the boat ramp looking west toward the dam. The person in the photo is the only one I saw fishing there and I didn't get a chance to talk to them. The second photo was taken at Winder from the north end of the dam looking across to the south. There is a thick, white layer of dead plant material around the shore (hiding slick mud underneath). There is also a lot of aquatic plant growth in the water. The fishermen I talked to at Winder had caught lots of small perch and bluegill but nothing of any size.
Thanks for the pics. That Winder pic looks familiar. I’ve seen it that low before, but that was in September right before irrigation shuts off. It seems like it was getting to the point where it was getting super low most summers and the fishing was definitely going downhill. Used to be some huge bass in there. I talked to Consolidated, and from the sound of it, their reservoirs can’t go totally dry because of the outlet design. Hopefully their reservoirs don’t have any fish kills. Well, at least Oneida won’t ever go dry. I can always spend my time catching smallmouth and walleye.
