I fished Roosevelt on Saturday and the water on the East ramp of Windy Hill was just to the same level as the walk on ramp for the dock.  When I launched on Sunday morning, the walk on for the ramp was under about 6-8 inches of water, so the lake is still rising significantly as the snow melt is running down.  I don't think it's going to stop until that snowmelt clears, since the ground is saturated from all the previous rainstorms....

crappiecoonass, when you have fished up near school house, I presume school house launch is usable? do you know if the dock is in the water? couple years ago the dock broke and TNF needed to order parts for it and for over a year nothing was done to repair it as the lake dropped?

The dock was in the water on the 5th when we launched and they pulled it up while we were fishing tso the walkway was dry when we took out that evening. Not much debris either, but the wind could change that daily.

Thanks, ya that wind if it comes from the northwest can make school house an SOB to try and launch or tie up. The guys fishing Saturday said the grapevine dock was the same way you had to wade through water to get to the dock from the ramp it had slipped down on the walkway
