lake levels

graph http://lakelbj.lakesonline.com/Level.asp

this graph is interesting but very constant. you can see the extreme drips and I wonder if that is when they dropped the lake to allow people to clean out under their boat docks.  I know when my grangfather had a lake house in sunrise beach they always dropped it once or twice a year for that and then would fill it back up again.

current level is 824.82
full pool is 825

I thought I read somewhere LBJ is only lowered for non emergency reasons every 4 years.  Right now with the drought, I doubt they lower it until the other lakes are at a level they can help fill it up.  It's pretty impressive how constant they can keep it.  Those dips are only an inch or two.  you can get that if the wind changes direction.  It's the largest "constant level" lake in the US which is why I like it so much right now Smiley

I always enjoyed the lake too.  it seemed to not be a choppy as travis but I would have to have a place as even when I lived in austin I could not bring myself to pull all the way there every weekend.
