water levels

[wakina]

Went to check on the camper today and Turtle Creek at the Rt.2 bridge was almost dry with no wind. At Paradise the water level was iffy if one would want to go out that way. Beef Creek Marina had the river and lake channel bouys laying on the ramp, both ramps had open water at the ramp proper but beef creek had a cover of ice on it but I don't know how thick.
If they don't get alot of snow in all of Ontario, and maybe far eastern Manitoba, Michigan and Wisconsin this winter there will be no snow melt runoff to raise the lake levels and that could make for a tuff season no-matter if there are fish to be caught or not. It could make access real tricky with the ramps that have water being over crowded.

we are in the same boat with Lake Onterio, over 90 harbors on the northeast coast are to low for boats to get in or out, the shipping channels are so low that they are only carrying 1/2 loads, which is becoming costly, and the freight will be transported via different methood (trucks,trains ect.) which will cost over 2800 jobs if something doesn't happen soon, like lots of rain or snow, which so far doesn't look good. The charters are trying to piggy back $30million along with the hurricane Sandy relief bill for dredging the inlets to the harbors, so it's looking like the spring brown trout season might be a bust!! or maybe the whole year. Just a short note you are not the only ones, ship out of water!!!!
