Lake Level Jumping

Just looked at the gauge, lake has shot up about a foot and still rising.

Maybe we should have run the "How High Will She Go" till December lol. This is pretty neat, we know high water years do nothing but good for the lake, and as long as it stays below gates open im happy and excited to think of what will happen when the migration starts back up lake which should be in the next month or two.

Yes it should be good for the lake, I'm just hoping it doesn't turn to chocolate milk. Might get the bass back into the bushes where they are easier to catch.

The Mudline will be a hot ticket, I would bet if the prediction of more rain over the next week hold true the line might make it to Coppermine or Rocky Branch if so hold on to your rods Mudline = microscopic food = shad = big fish and if it makes it that far some of the biggest stripers and walleye will be caught.

Bring it. :-).

Other than the floating trash/debris, I'm all for fishing for bigger fish.

Upper Table Rock should be popping then. Eureka Springs was pretty much flooded out this morning, and Leatherwood Creek (trib at Holiday Island) was up and over the road in a couple of places. Thankfully, the rain has slowed and should be stopping soon. That may mean I can get my boat out tomorrow if the culvert/road didn't disappear; it had a foot and a half of water over it a couple of hours ago.

Look at the creek gauges. White River and War Eagle are not feeding this rise very much. It was the creeks on the dam end. Current mud line might not make it to Blue Springs.

[Quillback]

Yeah I'm wondering how much water came in on Indian creek.

[J-Doc]

Me too because it was thinking of trying that area late Sat. afternoon.

Beaver isn't rising as much most the rain fell on the main lake not in the WRWS where it would have needed to raise the main lake hard and fast like it did a few years ago. Im betting some debris for sure and it will continue to go up a little. Now if reports of more rain come true and it sets up in F-ville area then we could a major rise.

I was thinking mudline fishing yesterday but now its just looking like typical bank fishing as things rise. Who knows though with the weather forecast.
