Yes it is low, lowest I have ever seen it. Was lower in 1963, 1964, 1951, & 1952. I think it was over a month ago they found I think 2 cars and a motorcycle. Lake still has a lots of water. Around Manfield Dam it was around 120' deep. From the full mark of 681 it is 631 now, 50' below full. The last month it has been nice with not very many boats out running around. Devil's cove is getting shallow, narrow and shorter. Will be interesting this weekend.

Did not go this weekend. The 22nd and then Labor Day I will do something else. Probably my last for the season. Harvest starts in September.
I am done for the season on Travis. They are moving the A, B and C docks at Emerald Point Marina out to the middle after labor day. Too much of a PIA to get on and off the lake for one or two more days. I can always hop a ride if I need to.

The Game Warden on Lake Conroe said Travis would be closed this weekend???? Is this true?
