It's the highest it's been since it was drained to repair the gates and spillway a couple of years ago. But the picture is even brighter for farmers using the water for irrigation, as the snowpack in the Beaver Mountains is the best its been for years. However, If the weather warms up too fast, there is danger of some flooding in the Beaver River and tributaries above the dam. Fishermen should take heart as well, as the lake should produce some excellent fishing this year with lots of three to four pounders available, and the Fish and Wildlife planted some lunkers that should range up to eight pounds. We saw one lunker jump while taking this picture. |
