Well the season hasn't even started yet and we have a Problem:

The water levels as most of you know are way down..for those of you that pre-fished Raynards you know the water is very low there....Well the executive have been advised the Power coorp will be drawing the lake down starting June 1st...with the water levels being down to start with 5 days of lowering is going to pose a problem for our tournament.

Now with this being early June we are in the High harvest only period and our only other high harvest Lake is Vaughne which we dont have access to until August.

So what does this mean....I will be monitoring the water levels over the next few days and so we can get the word out in time we will make a decision on the tournament By Wednesday June 2nd and posting the desion here and we'll also notify Ken at strickly fishin so we can get the word out before Saturday.

We'll make a decision on weather or not to make up the tourny or just go with the remaining tournaments if the situation calls for cancellation.

Any question you can post them here or call myself or another Exec member and we'll try to answer them.

Also pass the message along to others in the club so that they can keep up to date here on the fourm or also at Strickly fishin.

Sooooooo ????????? There are some of us not in the loop

I stopped at Raynard's yesterday on my way home and the lake looks like it has dropped another half foot or so.I can see green underwater type vegetation along the shoreline that wasn't showing last Saturday.
I'm gonna stop again on Monday morning and have another look and place a stake at the waters edge so by Wednesday when the exec goes and looks they will see where that stake is in relation to the water.
Doesn't look good though

Just a quick update.Lillian and I went to Raynard's this morning and I placed a stake at the edge of the lake.The lake has gone down a bit more as I can now see the second point to the left of the launch that wasn't visible yesterday .I will stop on my way home tomorrow and have another look and post tomorrow evening.

Ken

Thanks Ken, I had heard thru the grapevine it was cancelled for sure so I thought it strange it wasnt mentioned again here.

Hey Richard,haven't heard that it was cancelled for sure,the possibility is there that it "may be" cancelled but I haven't heard anything definitive.

The launch is still usable as of today.I went down and checked the stake I put in the lake and it looks like the water level hasn't changed from yesterday.However if they open the dam tomorrow the 1st of June as they have been saying then I suspect when I check tomorrow on my way home my stake may be high and dry

I suspect now that lobster season is done that George may take a cruise to the lake and have a look for himself and he in consultation with the rest of the exec will give us the word by Wednesday like Goerge posted.Anyway I plan on taking a look for myself both tomorrow and Wednesday.
I'm hoping NSP will forget they have a job to do until next week
I'll post what I see tomorrow evening.

Ken

WOW!!!!what a difference a day makes
I stopped at Raynard's on my way home this evening and low and behold the stake I placed in the lake is now high and dry...guess NSP didn't forget they had a job to do

The stake I placed in the lake this past Sunday was placed 2" into the water and as of right now there is 2" of dry land between the stake and the lake edge,so that means a drop of 4" in total.So by Saturday who knows how low it's gonna be?????

I plan on dropping by there tomorrow on my way to work as I am very curious what the drop is gonna be between when I checked this evening and tomorrow morning.
If you are also curious what the lake level is,call me after 9am tomorrow at the shop.

Ken

I would just like to say thanks Ken for the updates keep them coming. Even if we don't like them LOL .. I for one have been doing a rain dance since they said they were opening the dam......PS nsp sucks :(
