Lake Lanier is presently at 1,070.68 or .33 below the normal full pool of 1,071. Expect that to rise again with the rain forecast for the nest week. Lake surface temperatures are around 50 degrees. The main lake and lower lake creeks are clear in mouths and stained in the backs. The upper lake and rivers are slightly stained but expect them to get muddy after the incoming rains. The Chattahoochee below Buford Dam is clear but it will also get muddy after any rain. Check generation schedules before heading out to the river below Buford Dam at 770-945-1466.
