hoglaw Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I'm posting this in the White River forum too, but figured you guys might have some knowledge, so please excuse the double post. I'd like to understand what BS and Norfork are going to do over the next two weeks. Seems to me that BS is the big holding tank for all this water. With the MR flooded, and TR and Tanny jamming water to BS, what does the Corps do? It looks like they're steadily running one unit today with a little bump later, and two units tomorrow. Not much generation. Will they keep holding water in BS until the MR is out of the streets of Memphis and Tunica? We had a plan to do a buddy's bachelor party in Tunica, but it's being evacuated, casinos are being ordered to close, and the golf courses confirmed to me on the phone that they would be under water soon. Plan B is to head to the Norfork/White confluence, but if there are flood gates open or 8 units running, that seems less than desirable. I was thinking the flooded MR might mean low generation next weekend. Any thoughts?
Members skeet88bt Posted April 28, 2011 Members Posted April 28, 2011 Any word if the Corps is canceling tournaments on Bull like they did on Table Rock? We were headed down for the Tyson tournament this weekend. I work for Tyson and am headed to Bull tommorow for the Tyson tournament. Corps have not told Tyson that they cannot have the tournament. So it will still be held as scheduled.

Hotdawg Guide Service Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I just looked it up and Bull Shoals has hit 695 ft once since 1957 and that was in 2008 and with the flow coming down now should be back to that by Thursday. Bull Shoas is at 686.02 right now and we have heavy rains falling as I write this it will reach the top of the flood pool by wedsday and if the lakes start to dump above we will see it sooner this will be a record setting year for high water and the corps will open flood gates on Bull in my opinion by Friday at the latest The walleye are starting o bite though!!

Ham Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I really had hoped we wouldn't see them open the flood gates again. I wonder if walleye are estalished in the lower Buffalo River yet. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
