Around 31% - 32%, SEQ Water's website hasn't been updated since 27/12/04, must still be on holidays.

The boat ramps are high and dry , and I think the ramp on the north bank is closed . If you have a small boat you shouldn`t have any trouble . Watch out for shallow water & stumps .

went saturday. water is very low
under 30% we launched at kerkleigh from the north side dirt ramp. there is a sandy bit there be carefull it would be easy to get bogged in the sand.
the dirt part is ok as well.
north part of dam is a danger area. north of kerkleigh.
fish are there but finiky. spinner baits seem to be doing the job.
tailspinners working too.
and deep trolled black and gold.

be carefull outside the safe water area. big stumps under the water. you can still get to queenstreet if you go easy.
