Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 1, 2006 Root Admin Posted May 1, 2006 Well, they did start running water today (May 1) but it's been running for more than an hour. According to the corp's site, it started at 5 am and is still running between 1400-2000 cfs, about 1 unit. It's really cleared out the water at our place which we are grateful. Haven't heard how it's affected the fishing yet.

Brian K. Shaffer Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Well it is off now.. but that could been some good fishing there today! (I might take in some bad weather this week if they are gonna run water.) best fishes - Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
jOrOb Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 Wouldn't it have been better to let that water run for say 3 hours, then stop until tomorrow? Has SWP "shot theirs" now and will not be able to release later in the week? I am glad they are running water. But it seems that a little water every day would be better than a lot of water then no water. Am I right? jOrOb "The Lord has blessed us all today...

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 2, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted May 2, 2006 My wish list- run it 4 units for an hour, not one unit for 18 hours. Need to blow it out. But obviously, it wasn't on their wish list. Do turbines need to be ran every once in a while, like we run our generator once a week? May be they should read their manual.
