As we ended 2024, the lake level on Richland Chambers was down near 2.5 feet and the chances were not that great for the type of rainfall amounts we need to fill the lake back to full pool level. It takes a lot of water to fill a 45,000-acre lake!
Well, fast forward to the end of January and RC is absolutely full and the creeks are still running slightly above their normal levels. We incurred a couple of rain events that dropped a combined 4 inches to-7 inches of rain in the watershed, which is just north and west of the lake.
We’re now in a position to have a great spring spawn, a full lake to begin the summer, and an AWESOME start to 2025!
