Larry Richards Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Norfork Lake has come up 7ft in the last 24hrs still on the rise and still raining. Anyone planing on coming here this weekend to pre fish for the BassCats may as well stay home.The lake is a blow out.

Anyone planing on coming here this weekend to pre fish for the BassCats may as well stay home.The lake is a blow out. I was planning on fishing starting next TUES. Would that work? I'm driving from STL, so I'd prefer not to waste a lot of time waiting for things to clear. But I really NEED to go fishing too. Pls advise. Thanks for the heads up Larry. Steady...
Larry Richards Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 They are talking 12 ft rise when its over.I am afraid that the water will be muddy and the fish will be scatted.I would hold off for another week if you can but if you are coming for the BassCats its more than just the fishing.If its a fun trip save your gas its going to take awhile to recover.
Members Steady99 Posted March 20, 2008 Members Posted March 20, 2008 Hi Larry. This is a link that shows water levels. http://www.swl-wc.usace.army.mil/WCDS/plots/WEB/nor.htm You were right about the 12 feet up. Wonder how many feet per day decline possible with dam operating 24/7 ??? Steady...

I don't see how they can release water for awhile.I had to go to Little Rock today and the flooding at Batesville was real bad right up to the 167 road in town buildings flooded.I cant see them releasing water with that kind of flooding down stream.I am afraid that it will take about 2 weeks for lake Norfork to recover.I HOPE.The lake is very dangerous will all of the wood and logs in the water .I wouldn't put my boat in there.
