March 13, 2024: The lake is in pretty bad shape, with not much improvement to look forward to. Some weather experts believe we may end up with a wetter-than-usual spring, with La Niña starting to influence the U.S. This, of course, could help bring needed rain to our area and feeders north and west of us. Lake Amistad is fed via the Goodenough Spring near buoy 19, the Devil’s River, the Rio Grande and the Pecos River. But with everything at record lows, it will take insane amounts of precipitation to reverse the trend.The end result is we have extremely low lake levels and a lot of particulates concentrated in smaller areas, giving us virtually zero visibility. Now that air temps are starting to climb (night time is still very cool), the lake will eventually warm up. I still wouldn’t suggest trying to dive in anything less than a 3mm or 5mm full wetsuit (your target depth and amount of time will govern your choice).
