Beaver At 1131.5

[Quillback]

So if top of flood pool is 1130 and the lake is now at 1131.5, does that mean it had topped the spillway by a foot and a half?

Thats how I understand it..

This year will surpass the 2008 flood, by a long shot.

Maybe topped the "spillway" by 1 1/2 feet, but not the top of the dam....Tablerock's flood pool El is 931.00 and we're at 932.42 and rising....A couple of weeks back we hit 935.45....I wouldn't be surprised to see that 935 plus again here at the rock, unless they hurry up and open the flood gates more...But then again, better to hold as much as possible as to flood homes and business'......It's a mess, but it's mother nature, and we get what we get. I hope Phil and everybody else downstream don't get flooded again. He's probably tired a sheetrocking and painting, laying carpet, etc...etc...I'm not worth a flip at catching fish in this high water, so I'm just waiting.....patciently as possible....lol

Quillback...Have you been out ?

Yeah I guess it's a funnel effect right now, water going over the spillway is less than what is entering the lake.

Martin I have not been out on Beaver in a couple of weeks, fished the Indian Creek area then, never did very well so I've been fishing elsewhere.

If that's the case, I hope someone got a video of that.

After a little digging, it appears 1,130ft is the top of the flood gates, not the dam itself.
