I'm judging the lake level by where my docks lay on the bank at labor day. It's a lot higher than usual for September. It drops below the summer pool elevation some years by early July, and is some years 30-40 feet below summer pool by mid September. Either way, after Labor day, the Corps lets the dam rip, you better have your boat out or you may not have a full week before a boat hits dry ground, depending on your bank. We took ours out last weekend.
That said, last weekend there was very little boat traffic, little to no mud line in mid afternoon, it's probably fishing great. Or, heh heh, as good as it fishes.
