This Weekend at Grand Lake - More Valentines?

Good Morning!

Another beautiful Thursday morning here at the lake - gotta love it, and, for those of you that aren’t here… there are even some flowers getting ready to bloom - Come on!

Another sure sign of Spring is the return of the fishing tournaments, with the Bassmaster Classic only 5 weeks away. That will put the eyes of the fishing world on Grand… pretty awesome stuff!

So, not surprisingly, last week’s poll results followed very closely with the week before.

Basically, about 60% of you trust Facebook, and about 40% of you don’t.

You business owners out there should take note…

Anyhoo… let’s move on and get to it! Here is what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!

Lake Level - As of 9 a.m., the lake level is holding steady at 742.32’, with ongoing generation. Water surface temps are mostly in the mid-40s.

Valentine’s Gala - Don’t miss the best Grand Lake party of the season, the Valentine’s in Black and White Gala at Shangri-La Resort! Make your reservations, even stay overnight, this Saturday, the 17th, for cocktails, dinner, dancing, and entertainment by the Fabulous Show Band “Hook”. It’s going to be a great night on Monkey Island! More info, including how to make reservations, is HERE.
