Lake Mead ??????
 

Is there any boating going on there in april ????

I'm not............but I'm sure somebody is.

I went out 1 time last month in a Maxum I have lised there. Water was a little cold but other than that we had the whole lake to ourselves. I hadnt been to Mead in a while but I think I wll be heaing that way a bit more this year. It was very clean and being only an hour out of Vegas. I can get in trouble for spending too much time boating as well as loosing all my commisions at the table. I like to plan ahead for the big fights!!!

On a slightly different note. I was looking at possibly moving to the Henderson, NV area. Being close to Lake Mead, I would be there a lot. I saw a picture in a magazine that showed water levels really low out there. Are shallow areas popping up? Rocks? I don't want to be afraid of taking out a lower unit every time I go out.

With my luck I finally move out there and there will be water usage issues. More serious than currently, that is.

Lets just say when I was out tere last month I would have given my right eye for a depth finder!!!

Approx. two years ago the water elevation was at 1215.0 ft. The Feds have been lowering the lake ever since. The lake is now at 1174.5 ft. elevation. I have heard all kinds of stories as to why the lowering of the lake, you just don't know what to believe.

The average depth of Lake Mead is probably 250-300ft. in depth. It is one very DEEP lake. In fact Mead holds more water than any man made lake on the entire continent of North America. So yes, there are islands popping up , but they are well marked with buoys. You still have one hell of a large, deep lake in which to go boating. Hope to see you out here!
