Hi All,

Here's a little more information on the water levels...

As of today Riffe Lake is at 708'. Last I've heard from the water management folks, this hot weather coming up should send a lot of water into the lake and may bring the lake up as much as 10 feet by the end of the weekend. The lake will probably be lower than usual for our tourney, but we should still have access.

Any idea when the lake will be high enough for a guy to launch his boat and do a little pre-fishing or will I be doing that on the first day of the tournament. Huh

A word of advise from someone who has a lot of time on the water at Riffe. When the water is low and it comes up a lot quickly (like it probably will with this warmer weather) beware of dead heads floating around. A lot of the lumber on the banks gets lifted up and with the winds that place gets it gets blown all over the lake. I have seen this happen several times over the years I have fished this lake. I was fishing the smallies in Riffe back in the early 90's. Back then there were only a small handfull of guys that knew about the smallies there. Good luck to you all and be careful. I don't want to read about anyone tearing up thier boats or themselves. Because I care.....

took a trip up to riffe lake yesterday morning to scout out some exposed structure.  the lake is incredibly low but the cowlitz was absolutely ripping its gonna fill up pretty good the next week or so.  anyway here are a few of the pics i took up there to show how low it is.  the new low water ramp is actually in the water but i think they dont want you to launch into a river  Cheesy


this is up near the campground looking downriver


on a ridge looking over at cosmos flat or the flat to the west of cosmos not sure  Undecided

i just found this on the web that shows when they open each launch.  the new taidnapam launch should be open sometime next week based on this info.

"The Taidnapam North boat launch will open when the lake reaches 720 feet of elevation, and Mossyrock Park boat launch will open at about 725 feet. The Kosmos boat launch will open at about 746 feet and the Taidnapam Park boat launch will open at about 760 feet. Boaters can call Tacoma Power’s toll-free Fishing and Recreation Line at 1-888-502-8690 to learn the current water levels and which boat launches are open."

You guys will be lucky to even launch with this cooler weather screwing things up. You better start praying for some warmer temps.
