The lake appears to have leveled off for now, but more rain is expected later in the week. APCo appears to be generating with a average of about 12,000cfs because Thurlow lake is down 10 feet and they want to keep it down, so don't expect any quick drop. Obviously, any rise will depend on the amount of rain we get. Just a guess, but I wouldn't expect the lake to drop very much (2-3 ft max) again this year--normal beginning of fill starts 2/15.

As far as tying off your boat, you might try crisscrossing your lines to allow more up and down movement, ie. tie front boat line to stern dock cleat & vice versa.. Not sure of your dock situation, but longer lines always help.
