Roosevelt Lake:
More information: SRP Daily Water Reports
Max. Elevation: 2,151 Current Elevation: 2,104
Max. Surface: 21,493 Current Surface: 14,069
Feet Below Max.: -47 Percent Full: 50%
This lake hasn't seen this much water in over 10 years I'll bet. The dam was raised 75' and this is the highest its been since. I'd guess its 15-20 feet above the old high water mark. :cool:

Going up more this weekend too, by the looks of it.
There's my opportunity to find old fishing lures and bikini tops. Damn.

Now it's only 30' from being full. With the storm that came through here this last weekend, it came up over 10' and it's supposed to start raining again tomorrow again. :D

Well,just an update on Roosevelt,Now up to 87%, higher than it's ever been.
Lots of driftwood from Grapevine to Windy Hill. Windy Hill,on the eastside, the bay is full of driftwood,the westside looks better for launching. The Tonto end looks great,not much driftwood to be seen.I would recommend everybody to go see it whether you have a boat or not,it looks awesome!
I seem to have a problem posting pics,so if someone can post them ,or just want pics,email me at maverick@theriver.com
