Has anyone been to Lake Shasta or Millerton Lake recently? Is the water level way down still like it is in the photos below?

I'm making plans for my summer trips.

How low will it go?: Lake Shasta water could reach lowest level in 15 years

By Dylan Darling

As the water has dropped, restrictions have gone up on what boaters can do and how fast they can travel, and questions have been raised about where the lake's water is going.

Thanks Ruger - that area is proabably the best location on the lake to catch bass.
