    Sad for farmers downstream in Idaho, a lot of their irrigation water comes from the water rights over the lake.

    I got to work on a summer project there when I was in college in the early 90's. The old historic shoreline was about 40 feet or so below the dam level, and I want to say archaic and paleo shores would have been down 60+ feet below the normal water level by todays standards. I never saw it below 30 feet down, but there was a lot of material from village sites that were probably a quarter mile or so from the old beach.

    If it gets paleo low, I guarantee some archaeologists will be surveying the heck out of it.

      The main drawdown was from farmers calling for their water. Lower amounts of mtn water this year too.

    Tell them you are looking for agates and will give them half of the ones you find but make sure you save a couple to give them look for points. Ask permission

      Well I didn’t know it was government land so don’t look for points
