Carters Lake Ramp Closed 9/7/2007

[Rock Buster]

Don't waste your time going down to Carters lake as the Corps of Engineers has now closed ALL the boat ramps due to the low lake level. Here is the GON article about it that came out today... http://www.gon.com/article.php?id=1311&cid=158

Nottely has better water quality in the summer anyway but it is falling fast and is now about 25 feet below full pool, so it may be next. I think lake Blueridge is already closed as well but I am not positive of that. Apparently this is the worst drought in our area for over 100 years and the bottom of my jetboat can attest to it.... emoDoh If I could just get my wife to understand that all these boat repair expenses are really not my fault!!!!! emoBigsmile

Thanks for the heads up. Our tx in Lafayette was cancelled this month and the October classic is postponed and may be called off. emoAngry
The ramp is out of the water. The river in Trion looks more like a stream. I won't risk the drive to Rocky Mt or Brushy Branch, they may be low too. N Ga water levels are lower than I have ever seen.

It's a wonder the levels in our Tn impoundments are managing to stay as high as they are.

If we don't get some rain soon, or better yet, a monsoon, we may all be fishing with a pallet and a paddle !emoSmile

If you want to fish for spotted bass and can't get on to Carters just come on up to Parksville because the water is only a 3 ft or less down and all ramps are still in the water!!
