I bank fished at the boat ramp this evening.

Caught 1 bass on a brush hog.

Talked to some other fishermen cacthn bass...

The ramp should be open, right now.

Need to remove the lock tonight.

I would say its risen 3ft in the past 48hrs.

Flooding is bad and its about to get colossal...

Yeah the rain can stop, I may take a drive over there this AM to see if they have opened the ramp.

Drove over there this afternoon, ramp still closed but the water's high enough now for it to be opened, looks like about another foot and water will be going over the top of the spillway, and seeing how much more rain is on the way that should be a sure thing. Maybe they will open it Monday when the POA people are back at work.

Let me know when the water gets stained or muddy.

It was rising and clear yesterday

I was over there this morning, water is so high that the new dock at the dam ramp is a couple of inches under water. Ramp is still closed. Water is slightly stained, but not too bad. I did a circuit around the road that goes across the dam, everybody else in BV had the same idea, 3 trucks parked there and I saw about 8 others do the loop in the 5 minutes I was there, once the ramps open it's going to look like the Normandy invasion there will be so many boats out there.

Water is high at all the other lakes, Avalon ramp is close to being unusable, and the water is stained brown. The back launch at Lomond is usable if a person can drive the boat off their trailer. The road into Lake Ann is closed.

Little Sugar creek is the highest I have ever seen it, golf courses are getting flooded, there's going to be a lot of expensive damage to the courses. Where 71 crosses into MO right before you get to MacAdoodles there is a lake now on both sides of the road. The little brooks that meander through the golf courses are now raging brown torrents, pretty amazing stuff.

Took the drive this afternoon. It was amazing how much water there was. Water was up to 540 just north of the Walgreens.

NICE....

I'm glad the rain stopped

Stopped by Windsor, a guy fishing by the dock told me one of the POA folks told him the ramps would probably open tomorrow. Down by the spillway a couple of guys were throwing cranks and had 5 nice bass (2-4 lbs.) on a stringer, hated to see nice bass like that kept, but that's the way it is sometimes. Saw several bass chasing shad by the dam, they are definitly biting.

Water had really drained off the golf courses, Sugar Creek is still high and muddy but has dropped considerably since yesterday, hopefully we won't get a lot of rain tonight and tomorrow.

POA statement:

Lake Windsor Boat Ramp Now Open

The water level at Bella Vista Villages Lake Windsor has risen and the boat ramp at the dam is now open.

Boaters are urged to use extreme caution since recent storms have caused debris to enter the lake. In addition, boaters are requested to observe all no wake zones and keep speed to a minimum due to recent flood activity.

The London Landing Ramp is still closed for flood debris removal.
