Thread: Lake Ellesmere Low?

The lake looks really low with quite a lot of maimai's out of the water - hopefully we get some rain but is the lake likely to come up much in the next month?

Can't wait for weekend opening in Otago then getting off my butt to do some local shooting during the season.

usually 2 weeks or so before opening we,l get rain and plenty of it
the lake needs a big southerly to close it from the last opening then things will look better
