5/23/2008 8:58:00 PMI went up to Hunters today just to check the water level. It is low low low. I never knew the ramp made a turn to the north. We stopped at Fort Spokane to check water levels there and we were surprised to see only one ramp open to launch at. I have lived here only a short time (4 years) but the water is lower than I have ever seen. I hope all this run off starts to fill something up. The water is running over the guys dock where the Little Spokane River meets the Spokane River but when you get to Willow bay the water is so low you can hardly launch a boat there. All the damns are flowing at maximum capacity on the spokane river.

Both McNary and Ice Harbor Dams are flowing a tons of water, McNary even has 2 gates wide open not even making any power. BUT the water level in the Burbank Sloughs low. I don't get it

The lake is coming up but a lot of the launches are still 20-30' from being usable.

5/30/2008 10:38:00 AMIf you want current Lake Roosevelt elevations go to www.lrf.org then click on lake levels. I will try to post a spreadsheet that shows each boat site and at what elevation they are out of the water. Good luck fishing.
