It is 2.25 feet on the Rumsey scale today. A little low, but fine for fishing.

Ok next question, when setting my Navionics app and lowrance graph should lake level be set to +2 if Rumsey is 2.2? Or would it properly be -5 if a 7.5 Rumsey be “level”?

7.5 is "normal full pool", thus you would set it to -5.

Since the readings are instantaneous the .08 difference (about .9 of an inch) are due to the effect wind has on the lake.

Sensors and and readings are taken in the Lakeport area.
Waves will effect the readings as opposed to readings of the lakes in our area (usually a daily figure).

Catman is correct. Adjust it based on normal pool levels.

What Tyler said. You can also go on the Navionics website or app and play with the water levels to compare to your fish finder levels. There is also shading colors that you can use on the app once you get the exact water level set up.
