The water level on the lake at present is only around 56%. I took a walk out there yesterday, and the water in front of my house is only at the outside edge of the willows. There is plenty of dead smartweed beds for cover, but they are only in a foot or two of water. There are probably other areas where the water extends into the willows a bit.
The NY Canal is shut down at present, so the level will not get higher until irrigation starts. And then it depends on how much farmers need to irrigate early in the season as to whether the lake will fill more or not.
