I remember one year the drought was so bad the lake was around 485' by July 4th. It seams that they let it bump 490' and then it fluctuates between 490'-489'. One year they held it up until Labor Day before starting to drop it. It was at about 485' when Opel hit and the next day was out of its banks. I really enjoyed all the beautifull birds that sought refuge at Lake Martin after that. Most years they start droping the lake right after July 4th. but I understand the " water wars " is suppose to change that.
