How's the water level at Spruce?

Re: Spruce Run shallow water Pike:
 

About half

Re: Spruce Run shallow water Pike:
 

Half FULL, and not empty :D

I heard the fish get stressed out when water is low, but is that really a problem for a body of water that large that is still deep enough to hold fish?

Or do they also get stressed out that all the fish that were once spread out are now compact to a lesser area?

Ive seen it goes both ways. I've fished some pa lakes right before dam repairs that were at 50% or less and sometimes you couldnt pick a bad spot as their were fish everywhere and other times it felt like there wasn't a fish left. Water has steadily came up throughout the winter, I would say 4 or 5 feet easily, and typically winter isnt a stressful time especially a mild winter like we had so my guess the fish will be acting normal in Spruce but that's only a guess
