does anyone know if the flood gates are still open at the mchenery dam ?
if not, is the water level going up on the lakes?
i also heard there was massive fish kill because of the low water level, is this true?
its been a couple of years since i have seen the water level this low

I absolutely hate the chain right now, my boat just about got stuck in grass lake when I got out of the channel. The water level no sh*t is 8" just out of the channel. When I was putting around I was churning mud IN the channel. I'm a little proterbed with waterway agengy to let the levels get this low. I guess they were doing some work to the rt. 12 bridge. BT

Aso some guy in his ranger got stuck I could imagine it was no fun pushing a boat around in 40F water.

Hi Guys
A quick accurate way to find Chain water levels is to link to the USGA's monitor of the Fox River at Johnsburg. The link is:

http://il.water.usgs.gov/nwis-w/IL/data ... 4826511741

It will show the live water level of the river with the normal, summer level being about 4.0 feet.
