Due to unseasonal low lake levels at Bronte Lagoon, Bradys Lake, Lake Binney, Tungatinah Lagoon and Lake Echo, IFS  has issued the following caution to anglers:

• Bronte Lagoon –The boat ramp at Bronte Lagoon Dam Wall is operational to -1.7 m below Full Supply Level (FSL). With the lagoon currently at -1.85 m extreme caution should be exercised when launching and retrieving boats.
• Bradys Lake – The new ramp at the Whitewater is operational to -3.9 m below FSL. The level is currently -3.9 m therefore caution should be exercised when launching and retrieving.
• Lake Binney – The boat ramp off the Lyell Highway is operational to approximately -3.0 m below FSL. The lake level is currently -3.9 m therefore launching and retrieving trailer boats is not recommended.
• Tungatinah Lagoon – The gravel ramp at Tungatinah Lagoon off the Lyell Highway is operational to approximately -3.0 m below FSL. The lake level is currently -3.9 m therefore launching and retrieving trailer boats is impossible at current levels.
• Lake Echo- The boat ramps at Large Bay, Middle Echo and the Dam Wall are all designed to operate to approx. -8.5 m below FSL. With the lake currently -9.15 m launching trailer boats is not recommended.

As a general precaution boat operators should maintain extreme caution whilst navigating on all these waters due to submerged hazards just below the surface. A 5 knot speed limit is recommended.

Forecast rain during this week may see some increase in lake levels. Check the current level anytime at: www.hydro.com.au
