flytyer57 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Sorry FT. I don't have anything to do since my golf tourney got cancelled today. I have a chance to go fishing next weekend but with all the rivers blown out and The Norfork Dam pumping hot water into the river it doesn't look good. I'm bored!!!! Need fish!! Pete I don't think it's "hot" water they are dumping. A report I read was that the surface temp of Norfork Lake was like 56°. " Since both turbines are down they have had to look at alternative means. Yesterday they opened the sluice gates at Norfork to begin releasing some of the flood water. Some of you may have realized this when the flow recording was reporting 0 units on line, but there was flow equivalent to 2 + units in the tailwater. As an aside, I suggested to the Corps of Engineers last night that sluice gate releases should be indicated on the recording. The sluice gates draw water from low in the reservoir so there was no concern regarding high water temperatures." You can read more about that here. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
