That's Beaver Bay. It can get worse.

Boat is going for sale if river levels end up like that.

If you do You will have to change your handle from walleyewanker to wankerwanker

Does nobody remember 1570 on Oahe in 2007? I sure do.

Anyone have a link to historical reservoir elevations? I’ve looked and can’t find a good site.

Yes, I've lived along OAHE my whole life. Once we figured it out, the spring bite at PKC area was some of the best fishing of my life.

I think that the picture of Beaver Bay was from 2007. We brought the dog and shotguns. Hunted just north of Beaver. Where the lake used to be a lake.

Maybe @Vollmer can put this link in the Resources page for water levels.

The U.S. Drought Monitor is likely to explode in the coming weeks/months with broader coverage of higher drought intensity based on the current conditions and forecasts/outlooks. And yes, that includes most of ND.

March and April are huge snow months so hopefully they can catch up out west

Note, the Oahe one doesn't want to load for me today. Not sure why.

shore fishing was good there too

The March study is even worse. 1584 lower basic for Oahe. Need some big storms in the next two months!

This is the most accurate way of tracking lake levels with flow in/out at every stage of the Missouri River. The tributary data is also handy, especially a year like last year with the yellowstone flood.
