Looks like they are going to hold Beaver, run Table Rock at 14k for a while and hold Bull Shoals. That has been the trend going back a few years now. Beaver will go to the top of their pool, then dump. They'll try to keep Table Rock at about 920 feet till June. BS is the big bath tub that will hold it all. The reason TR Dam is running spill gates is evidently 2 units are down. If TR hits 920, they'll open more gates and wider.

They pay a big fine... or fees... depends on how you view it. Makes no difference if you got the money to pay and want a view.

Jumped in at the right time... just after conservation cafe closed. Thanks

But only 2 units running...

Got it thanks. Bally Sports

Anyone have an experience at this? What's the best way? I'd want to watch the home games too - no blackout games. Is that possible?

On my browser, it starts in 2018. You have to scroll WAY down to present day. But starting late Feb he's uploaded a bunch of short videos that are telling. You can see some of them but you have to download and install the program Telegram which I'm not inclined to do. You can bet intelligence agencies are looking at his stuff! I found this after reading a new release about this guy. Googled just his name and videos and found it.

I'm catching at least one brown trout each time I go out now. All very oversized trout, thick and strong.

At 1100 this morning, we will be closing all spillway gates at Table Rock Dam.

Paul Crews and I hit the Hickory Ramp about 10 this morning and it didn't take long to find fish. Headed up river only a few hundred yards and spotted some whites on the live scope cruising around. Caught a few but that wasn't what we were there for... we wanted some crappies. We hit a few brush piles in that area and found fish... actually we found crappies at all the places we went. We found them anywhere there was wood, almost. We caught them in 6 feet of water and 23 feet of water. We boated down lake maybe 3 miles and hit some places Paul had fished before. And we finished north of 86 bridge and found them in the channel on big and small brush. We used 4-6 lb line, 1/6th oz jig heads and Bobby Garland baits - the color didn't matter really. Water was stained - good color - about 55 when we started and 61 towards 5 pm when we quit. We caught a lot of shorts - alot. I think we kept 18 but we did throw back some just-10-inchers, esp at the beginning of the day. The white Paul is holding weighed 3.3 pounds. Paul said it was probably the biggest he's ever caught.

That's probably it. TR is cresting at 916.5. Beaver is about 2 feet high now but they aren't running anything. Yet. Run baby run.

Man I don’t know. Uncharted territory. Never had 2 turbines down at the same time. I haven’t looked at rain totals today. I’m assuming NW Arkansas got more rain that we did, thus more release.

From the Corps- At 1030 this morning, we will open Table Rock spillway gates 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 to 1 foot each due to hydropower unit outages. Along with spillway gate 4 that is already open, the final setting will be 8 gates at 1 foot. The spillway release will be approximately 7,900 cfs, and the combined release with hydropower will be approximately 14,500 cfs.

I've been following this guy.

That sounds challenging. Fun too. Hope the water level stays decent for you guys down there this spring! Thanks for posting the report!!

What's cool is we're finding great fish outside the trophy area. Our guides now are talking their clients into releasing the nicer rainbows and only keeping the "eaters".

I love this place too. It would be hard to put a number on how many wonderful people I've met through this forum. Pretty incredible. Thanks to all...

From the Corps At 1200 today, we will open Table Rock spillway gate #4 to 1 foot due to hydropower unit outages. The spillway release will be approximately 1,000 cfs. The total outflow from the dam will be approximately 7,700 cfs which includes the spillway release as well as the hydropower release.

It’s sure fun when they bite. They are definitely there. Good fish below Fall Creek.

19.5 inches and .... no weight

Trout were biting late today. Watch One Cast...

Not sure if it's public knowledge but if you like Anvil scissors, you should grab a pair now. Darin called the company and t/t the owner. She said she can't get steel. Said she could continue and deal overseas but doesn't want to go that direction. Said she's had a good go of it and has decided to get out. We've had a hard time getting them, that's why Darin went to the source. Probably will start seeing some product on Ebay at elevated prices soon.
