Default Coal Lake

The ice should be gone off Coal Lake by now. Has anyone been out to check the water level? When I was out in early March it was pathetic with both boat launches useless. Was there any spring moisture to change the water level or are we in for a year where no one can fish that lake?

Another forum member was out there on Tuesday and said that the water is 4 feet away from the last cement pad on the launch.

Someone here at work told me today that you can drive around the entire shore line (dried up lake bed) with a quad.
