    Went there today to test drive the boat( I need to replace my spark plugs). Water is still high and swift everywhere making it very tough to fish.

    I drove down there today just to check it out. The ramp is clear and the water level is still in the red on the ramp. Water level is high and over the toe path at the lower part of McMahon's Mill.
