It gets closer every day, the high water mark is on the other side of them trees. This spring the water was 125 yards from the house now it's about 1/2 of that. The GPS reads a 40 foot difference between the low point on the road and my driveway in front of the house. We moved my buddies mini cabin yesterday up another 30 yards as the water was kissing the front of it.

Well, at least you already have your fishing pier built.

A lake that's about 7 square miles but it's shallow it was all cattails 20 years ago you could not see the water it caught on fire a few times.

Might start thinking about sandbags, and a harbor freight water pump.

Fast cycling lake they call it I have seen it dry and over the high water mark, most years you could walk across it and never need to swim. It will take years to get back to "normal" but the rats they will come so it should be a hoot any way it goes.

I don't see it reaching the house it will spill over the road a mile away before then I just hope it's got someplace to go is all.

Interesting, any fish in it or no because it is just a sort of temporary lake?

Has been short on fish in the past but most years it's carp, bullheads and panfish winter kills bad when it's low most years it supplies me with all the carp I need for trapping.
Some years it rocks for ducks and geese depending on the cover, just shoot the geese right off of the porch.

Had 35 rat houses out there one time then the water came up-the wind blew and they were gone! Some years I would get rats on the roads and in town when I was working several in a week got a few calls on main street in the store fronts. After a few years they were gone.
