Shaggie and I were at Windy Point public on Tuesday and the vis was about 5 ft down to the thermocline at 60 ft.
Under it, the vis improved dramatically. (down to 115 ft, our max depth)

That was from Friday night / Saturday morning. Not sure what the rains did to it, but I hope you got a GOOD light!

I dove Bob Wentz park yesterday. About 5-6 foot vis down to the thermocline at 70 feet. Cleared up below that, maybe 12-15 feet. Be prepared to backpack a long way to the water at Mansfield Park. Lake level is 646.4. No fires aloud at any of the LCRA parks due to the fire ban. Have a safe trip and have some great dives.

The bottom of the first jail/cage ends in the mud at 126, is that what your saying? that can't be, or is the lake really down THAT low?

Went to the dam this afternoon,swam along the bottom past 2 or 3 of the cages.Max depth when I put my hand on the silt was 129 feet.Temp was 58.
Yes it really is that shallow ! 2 platforms are completely out of the water.

tell me about it, its a hell of a hike with doubles, and those stairs near the campsites are harsh!
iarn33 was saying you can park on the shore (former lake bed!!) over at the WP public and walk right into the lake and work from your vehicle....just stay within the parking cones!

This is an interesting link.

Travis is at 646 which is 18 feet below the September average.Forecast to drop another 5 feet over the next 60 days. That would put the bottom at about 124 feet.
