Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 4, 2011 Root Admin Posted June 4, 2011 Without any warning, the Corp dropped Taneycomo more than 5 feet over night. They shut the flood gates down and reduced generation. Just yesterday, I was wondering what the Corp's plans were and thought about calling someone from the Corp to ask what they were going to do. Table Rock was at 928 feet, a level I thought may trigger a change in flow, and it was. We'll see how the fish react to this. Generation only so the water will be colder. This morning, the water color and clarity is the same here but hopefully it will clear up a bit. I wish the Corp would have gotten the word out about the drop. Parts of our lower dock are sitting up on the bank and the first attempt to get them off this morning failed. L & H Dock will come out and get it off... but they, I guess, have other issues other places where they needed to move docks out before the drop. So, communication continues to be a major flaw for the Corp. Disappointing. But trout fishing is going to be a lot more easier for everyone... in boats and off the docks. Wading below the dam - there will be more areas to fish including above and below the outlets.

I am planning on being down the week of July 18 and fishing Taney with my new bride. Last three days of our honeymoon. Hopefully it will offer the same opportunities for some catching if not fishing is always still fun. Thom Thom Harvengt
Danoinark Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Saw this on their facebook page yesterday: Bull Shoals & Table Rock: Bull Shoals releases will be reduced to 28,000 cubic feet per second at noon today, reduced again to 24,000 cfs at 4 p.m., and held through the weekend. Table Rock spillway will be closed at 4 p.m. today. Full generation will continue at 13,600 cfs through the weekend. 22 hours ago Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 4, 2011 Author Root Admin Posted June 4, 2011 Didn't know they had a facebook page.... They've been using a chain of officials and they've been keeping us informed. Someone dropped the ball this time. L & H Dock has a lot at stake when water levels change - they're working on a lot of docks on Taney and they should be kept in the loop if no one else and they were not.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 4, 2011 Author Root Admin Posted June 4, 2011 Dan, how is their page on facebook listed or named?
Danoinark Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Dan, how is their page on facebook listed or named? Here you go Phil http://www.facebook.com/littlerockusace I agree too. Social media is ok for this kind of thing for general info, but you would think there would be "official" word to folks that it directly affects.
