AT 1076, the Corps of Engineers will completely shut the lake down.
Can someone please point me to the unemployment line. I have always wanted some free money
TIA

Is 1075 bad? Why would they shut it down?

Because it's a man-made lake held up by by Buford Dam and is going to flood errything if it get too high.
To put it into perspective, Lake Allatoona (about 30 miles West of Lanier) underwent this change through 8 days of rain:

Yea, the lake is a man made reservoir. Ive been here 20 plus years and never remember seeing it more than 2 feet above full pool. Its 4 feet now. At 5 foot, its very dangerous.
The lake is a train wreck right now. I won't be going out for a few days anyway.. We also have a very small spillway which can not release a lot of water at once.
That plus the fact that there are 8 lakes below us that are all full makes it tough to get the level down quickly

Is this a typo?
It is at 1075 now and I assume it is still rising due to the monsoon we've been getting this month. How could it possibly get to 1066 without washing everything away downstream?
ETA: I checked and flood pool is 1085 so I assume you meant either 1076 or 1086.

I can't answer for Lanier, but back when I actually had time to go fishing a lot late November & December was one of my favorite times to fish.
Weather's usually pretty good and the bass tend to concentrate. Find them and you can catch them until you just get tired of it.

Just open up the dam and send that shite south. Alabama and Florida always bitch that Georgia holds onto too much water anyway. Give it back.

Hope it trends toward employment bud

I remember when it looked like this:

I do as well. And fishing was never better. It was actually unreal.
I had a run of 36 days where I did guide trips in November through December where my clients caught 100 fish in a day. The day it got broken, they only caught 87. Disappointment.

The lake is at record levels. Never been this high. It is now 4.10 feet above full pool. Crazy
Im going fishing in the morning. Half day trip. We will see what happens

State of MS just cancelled "legal" deer hunting around the river and parts of delta due to floods as well.
