Eh, This hasn't looked very good from the get go unless it would have tracked to my west, The grinch storm last year makes this look like a passing shower.
Yes, Ripogenus, Chesuncook and Caribou lake all feed into the dam, I use to fish Chesuncook and Ragged lake back in the 70's when the only access was thru logging or the golden Road.
It would really need to dump at the head of the watershed to bring the levels up this time of year, I'm heading down the Songo river to Sebago on Saturday on a pontoon with a load of folks........
Probably won't help much, The stories you heard are true, My boys go tubing on the saco and carrying your tube is commonplace especially the closer to August you get, June is the best time.
