Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 25, 2011 Root Admin Posted April 25, 2011 Took a ride before another wave of rain hit. Took video of downtown (being uploaded) and boated to the dam. Clear water up past #3 outlet. No generation. Pretty surreal... Fish were biting though. Sculpin jig, of course. Blew 2 horns and kicked on units. Started raining before the flood gates came on... not on as of yet. Wanted to them on camera coming on. Calm waters... before the storm - literally! This is just above the Narrows. A chunk of bank let go and a couple of trees with it. And yes- I bet it's blocking the channel here but I doubt if these trees last. They'll be floating past our place later today- hopefully way out in front and not through our dock. Fall Creek Resort has had it's share of rain damage. This is just at the downstream end of their dock. The bank let go- about 100+ feet across and may be 50-70 feet deep. Took part of a parking lot and underneath of a garage. Condos right next to it could be next. Doesn't look good.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 wow - let's hope those condo's don't go in 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.

Guest Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Wow, those are impressive fish! that bank destabilized quickly, hope you don't get hammered by that logjam.
Members JD Thorpe Posted April 25, 2011 Members Posted April 25, 2011 Thanks for the pics, especially at Fall Creek's dock!! Our pontoon is sitting in the last downstream slip, so the condo area slide area is very close to us. Talked with Gene at the Marina, but since we're in Kansas, there's not much anyone can do but just hope this isn't 2008 again. Jeff
