Looks Like The Bank Fishing For The Brown Run Is Ruined Again This Year!

C'mon up, anytime..... the fish arent as big...but its a heck of allot more than fishing in a barrel below an ugly chunk of concrete.

Thanks. I enjoy fishing the current. I was there 3 weeks ago and had a great time.

My 2 favorite places to fish in MO are upper Taney and the current. I like them equally well. No doubt the upper Current is more pristine. But upper Taneycomo has it's own charms as well despite that "ugly chunk of concrete".

The fish themselves are no different in my opinion. They are all stocked bows and browns. Both have very high quality trout fishing.

Looks like I might have been premature. Hopefully.

Keep your fingers crossed. A gulf hurricane making landfall in tx or la could spell diaster for the whole white river system. I was working in springfield during the storms last week. A storm water ditch was near our job site. The ditch was about 20 feet wide and four deep. It ran bank full for the entire day. I am amazed that this past storm only added a couple of feet of water to the rock. See you down there jefly.

They are unlikely to dump TR this close to winter. They will most likely hold it close to 916 and that's a lot of room.

The reason the last storm didn't create a higher lake is that most of it was on the other side of the hill. There's about as much watershed for TR in AR as there is in Missouri, maybe more.

Tropical Storm Hermine looks like it will bring rain to the AR / MO area starting on Thursday and Friday. Currently projected to pass to the west, so the east side will be the wet side with more rain. They can do anything once inland and the rain sometimes doesn't hold the dry and wet side as they do on when entering the land.

I think it would have to hit land at a cat 4 to get this far up..

the past 3 that has made it was. I watched the cat 3 hit the land and get almost (if not just pass) Little Rock...

this what I really watch for.. we my get some rain...

Bottom line is... unless we get about 12-18 inches of rain by Sept 20th up to maybe first week in Oct....*** if the ground is saturated.. 1 inch of rain = 1 foot rise one Tablerock***

Its but a fairly dry summer.. so it will take a lot of rain to get us wet enough for to raise almost 10-15 feet for the gates to be opened...

*** And if they do.. I guess we will have to chase smallies and walleyes again. Man that could suck.... NOT!! *****

We are look for a AWESOME run!

Maybe not as many walleye - I thought they were spawning last time we got massive flooding a coupla years ago? If the flood gates open in the fall, white bass? what a shame... (not)

Ike was the last storm to blow through here, but while the wind was destructive there wasn't an unusual amount of rain.

It's way to early to guess what will happen when the Browns come up, much less make an intelligent estimate.
