Started off early this morning with a buddy, launching the boat at 5 am. Headed down the lake for a sit in the woods. On the walk in, we jumped 8 deer, so I did not think we would have a chance of seeing another. That was ok with me, because I was hoping for a chance at turkeys. Just after shooting time, I could hear a turkey behind me about 75-100 yards up in the roost. After that I heard one to my left fly down. About that time a giant murder of crows flew in raising all kinds of ruckus, flushing the still roosted turkey off in another direction. I could see my buddy's ground blind from where I was at and apperrently he had deer skirting the limits of his shooting range all morning. About 10:30 we gave up on the hunt and changed gears to chasing walleye. Good move on out part! We had rigs in the water about 10 minutes when we caught the first keeper. We kept trolling the flats from just below K Dock to almost Snapp. Had 3 different areas we picked up walleye in 20-27 feet of water. Tried one long run back down the lake and again picked up walleye in the same 3 areas. Decided to concentrate on the 2 most productive of the 3 and that was w the flat just above K Dock and the one just across and below K Dock. Trolled 1.9-2.3 mph depending on if we were in 20 feet of water (1.9) or 27 feet(2.3). Had enough line out with 3 ounce bottom bouncers to hit the bottom ever few seconds. We averaged 1 short for ever keeper we caught and had a welcomed bonus of a 13 inch crappie. Did not catch any of the stinking bass which was awesome! Only target species today. Ended up with 2 limits of keeper walleye and 8 shorts in 5 hours of fishing. Great day filled with adventure and good company! Oh, and got to meet Paco while taking out. Lots of fun chatting with you! -
Just want to provide you with an update and let you know that the Corps is monitoring the weather forecast closely for the weekend and possible impacts to the White River System.The National Weather Service is forecasting a significant rainfall event for the Little Rock District basins; the forecast indicates rainfall amounts of 5-7 inches across the upper Arkansas and White Rivers basins and 7-8 inches across the Little River and Clearwater basins. Little Rock District Lakes/Reservoirs have 95% to 99% of flood storage available to capture runoff, except Clearwater Lake which is at 85%. This should be sufficient storage for this event. We will monitor the rain and lake levels closely as rainfall develops, depending on how the rainfall develops, we expect all lakes to see significant rises, and expect rivers downstream from dams to experience several rises as the rainfall occurs.5-day QPF: http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/p120i.gif?1448479231WHITE RIVER SYSTEM. Beaver, and Table Rock remain in their conservation pools, Bull Shoals, Norfork, and Greers Ferry are slightly into their flood pools.Beaver: elev 1120.06 (98.9% conservation storage)Table Rock: elev 916.82 (99.4% conservation storage)Bull Shoals: elev 660.77 (1.8% flood storage)Norfork: elev 557.86 (13.7% flood storage)Greers Ferry: elev 462.38 (1.2% flood storage)Forecasted Pool crests with predicted rainfall amounts:BV - 1125TR - 920BS - 668NF - 565GF - 469Please keep in mind that these are predictions and there are a lot of variables. This is just an FYI in case you have questions on what the lake levels might do if we get the rain they are predicting.Current stage at Newport is 16.39' and falling (12' regulating stage). Will transition to 21' regulating stage December 1st.Current stage at Georgetown is at 16.72' and rising slightly (13' regulating stage). Will transition to 21' regulating stage December 1st. -
