Too Much Water To Fish

Yup, that's right... With waters more 22 feet above normal lake elevation and rising; closing all boat ramps save the state park ramp.

( BTW -- the ramp proper was totally submerged ).

The likelihood of unseen and damaging debris in the water; discretion is the better part of valor and we elected not to set sail today! ( Although I revisited that decision multiple times during the day ).

We made the best of it by locating the car wash in Rockville, and checked boating rules at Glenn Flint Lake.


Cecil M. Harden Lake Levels are reported here and here
