There are gates on the Leven just downstream of Balloch that let them control the water level. I read something recently that they were lowering a number of Scottish Lochs in anticipation of a really wet November (that will be nice!).
In the channel in the narrows it was 0.6m...gulp. It is normally 1-1.2 in there in the years I have been going. It was the first time I have ever tilted engine up in maybe 25 visits crossans probably selling a load of props lately!.
On the flip side, I was once over the pier at duck bay during winter when it was exceptionally high. The pier was under about 6" of water. It was about 1m above at the weekend.
