I didn't get a chance to fish these but I thought that the levels in Alexander, Mackay, and Chesterfield were all better than in years past.
Alexander is completely full.

Mackay is down, but is still better than some June levels that I have seen there. Nice to have some fairly good water years.

Chesterfield is down, but not extreme. Good to see that it hasn't been drawn down that bad. I had heard previously that Pocatello had been negotiating to buy some of the water rights to Chesterfield, so that they could leave a good pool every year. Does anyone know if that actually happened?
I would sure hate to see it ever drained completely again.
Chesterfield from the east side, the ramp looks like it is still in the water, but I am not sure. There was one boat that I saw out -- it was about 16 ft long.
