Lake Level

I noticed on the lake level page that Taney is at 704. If that is correct they shut all the gates and some of the generation as well don't you think. It would be nice if they shut it all down for a while. I'm curious what the bottom looks like now. Those who are posting pics of the lake, thanks and keep them coming those of us out of town appreciate it. We will be down the first week in June for 7 days. I hope that everything is back to normal then but I'm not holding my breath. That is still a lot of water to get rid of. Thanks, Dave

According to Springfield News-Leader's morning edition,

all floodgates shut off at 9am yesterday (Wed., 4/16) morning.

To all you locals, is that confirmed?

If so, some pics of water levels please. ;)

DT.... and others..

Its going to take awhile for the bottom to "FIX" itself.

Ive been down 4 of the past 6 days. Outlet 1 is TOAST.. muddy sand everywhere.

Night guys.. check it out during the day before going at night.. Place where we had rocks.. there are gone.. and has been replaced by about 18in of muddy sand. I couldnt see where it was washed out before... but I think it got bigger and deeper. The upper part is really bad.

The flats.. cover in sand. about 4-6 inches. very slick.

Outlet 2.. It looks to me like the big rock have been moved.. it just doesnt look the same.

a little bit of sand here.. slick but not bad if your careful.

When I was there today. There was 4 units going (low).. later in the afternoon I heard they had 1 unit going. so that sudden burst of generation could have stirred up the sand and move some of it.

Guy.. Careful when you down there.. It is really bad.

Lower lake is the same, Just not the same.

Not always, that depends on the rate of flow and the time. It takes a couple of hours for the flow to reach Powersite dam.

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Not True? I had normal stage levels(At/Less than 4 generators worth) all afternoon yesterday. Granted there is a short delay between Lower and Upper water flow, but 10 miles from either Dam I can predict water flow according to what is reported from the Dam.
