Levels are very low. You can expect to find some stumps and rocks with your outboard in the channels (those which are navigable).

I was there last week-end, docks are out of the water and was unable to get the boat all the way to shore. Spent my week-end on Island. Spider was a zoo with pleasure boats but the low water seemed to eliminate some of the boat traffic going through the channels. Best action was late evening. Good luck.

Water levels came up some with the rains this week. Not sure if it rained a lot in the PM, but there was more rain in the area and more predicted for this week. Best action for us was in the evening and night on deeper structure and suspended, and shallow slop with stumps during the day. Water temps were anywhere from 69 to 71 when we left yesterday. Started at 74 when we got there earlier in the week.

Mike G (MuskieMike?) told me Monday that you could get through but it was shallow.

agrimm and jake bucke were out wednesday in my 690 and told me they were up on fawn and could not get through ... i joined them later that evening and asked and they said no. a lot of rain has fallen since then though, so a lot will depend on your boat and if you are willing to get out and push. we've done that over the years in some pretty lean years.

call greers and ask them ... they'll know on a day-by-day basis.

I didn't get over that way at all, but judging by the other lakes on the chain I would say no go through the culvert. The chain is mighty low, and even though we got a pile of rain Fri it really hadn't come up at all by the time I left late Sat. night.

Rest has risen nearly a foot over the past week, and still slowly rising.
