Because now, there is LOTS AND LOTS of water. Here's a picture taken from the boat ramp at Chickahominy looking west toward what was the rocky point. Yes, those are junipers in the water. And yes, the point has disappeared, as have every other rocky outcropping on the north side of the reservoir.
Like I said, there is lots and lots of water! It's the highest I've seen Chick in the nearly 40 years I've lived here. I've had questions regarding Moon Reservoir. The water is RUSHING over the spillway. Silver Creek is still running high, flooding fields on its meander to Moon. And there is more water to come. While the north end of Burns is slowly drying out, the Silvies continues to rise and fall, keeping some houses and properties surrounded by water, or very wet at the least. FISHING REPORT: It doesn't seem to matter what waterbody is reported, the information is the same: water is high and fishing is slow from here to the Idaho border. A small sample of anglers are showing essentially the same numbers I'm finding - total fish caught seem to be about 1/8 of what was caught in the same number of outings last year after ice off. Fish populations seem to be fine, but high water, along with possible other factors, are adding up to a slow spring fishery. Hopefully things will be picking up as we move closer to the warmer months ahead.
