Highest they have been since April 2011. Leadmine gauge showing over 16,500 CFS.

Oops 21:00 reading now has it over 18,700CFS... Gauge height looks to be dropping so a crest is close...

bigger than 2011 but not as big as 2008 it was over 32K at Tunnel Dam that year... That was the year There was a debris mat from the Niangua Bridge all the way around the corner towards Ha Ha Tonka...

I would say the river will be changed drastically in a couple of places after this event, it has been a couple of years since we have been this high...

Not all bad, at least It will clean off the gravel bar turds.

I do not know how much of ths gully washer that just went through lake of the ozarks got on the watershed of the Niangua. But if it did she will be out of her banks. Gravois creek is under flash flood warnings right now

They say that the flood gates at Bagnell will be opened, if they aren't already. 50K is the prediction.and they are evacuating the Osage below.

The bad thing about the Niangua is that so much gravel has been disturbed with all the campgrounds going in all the good holes are filling up. I'll hold any hope of improvement until I see it again. As far as the crap goes, it will wash a lot of it out of the trees. The pee just stems and flows with number of people on the river. I wouldn't swim in it below 64 on a Saturday afternoon if you paid me. :lol:

Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.

Went to Barclay 7:00 am yesterday to see a flood. The water was almost up to the parking lot, and a blue heron was eating a beautiful 10" brown. I watch the gauge at Windyville just up from Bennett and it had jumped to almost 20ft a few days ago.

Yeah I was headed that way tomorrow, but so is another rain storm, so?? I'm thinking with this dry spell coming it will still be 5 or 6 days before it is at a reasonable level.

How did the new campground at 64 fare, did the water ever threaten their trailer area?
