Took the boat up for a spin on Jord. Ran like a top. Good thing I brought along sweats, etc., as it weren't no 75 up there. Mostly went site-seeing. Float tubers & shore-bounders getting some 10" slimers at river mouth, where temp was 48. Rest of lake in 41-43 range. Water level at river mouth is just short of the buoy line. Comparing that w/map & data on CUP website, I'm guessing lake is down 65-70'. "New" point coming around that northside corner heading up river arm. Better take it wide until lake rises, 'cuz it's 100 yds out, brushy and 2' deep at tip. Also came across halfway submerged red/white boat (circa 1955?) w/Evinrude, nosed into the south side of that long point on the west side of the north arm right before Sage Hen Hollow. (see pic) No sign of Gilligan, the Skipper or MaryAnn. Two-boat courtesy dock at Halistone ramp, but submerged rocks galore. Can only get warmer & deeper from here on out.
