WATER TEMPERATURE- 32° SURFACE ELEVATION- 2290.58 ---- 13.72 feet below conservation pool Currently, the water level is 4.31 feet lower than it was one year ago, at this time. Started releasing water out of the irrigation canal on 7-4-2022 and shut it off on 7-19-2022. All boat ramps are iced in at this time and the reservoir has approx. 5-inches of ice cover. If venturing out on the ice, use extreme caution and always fish with a buddy. Remember it is illegal to release any fish into public water unless it was taken from that water. Please discard leftover bait in a trash can. Now Available: A Webster District newsletter that includes fisheries related information about Webster, Kirwin and Keith Sebelius Reservoirs is available.
