Water Conditions: Lake Lanier is still above normal at 1,072.89 feet, or 1.89 feet above the normal full pool of 1,071. Lake surface temperatures are in the upper-40s. The main lake is clearer, and lower lake creeks are slightly stained in mouths and stained in the backs. The upper lake creeks and rivers are very stained. The CORPs has still been pulling some water, but they have been holding off outflow a little for the trout anglers. Check generation schedules before heading out to the river below Buford Dam at (770) 945-1466.
