Difficulty Reading Water Levels At Lir

[schultedillon]

I am going to the watts area on the LIR this Saturday morning and am having difficulty understanding the water levels. According to this data http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ok/nwis/uv?site_no=07198000 does it appear it is going to be fishable? Thanks for everyone's help!

I think the only real source is from the generation schedule. So, you won't know until Friday at 4:30 how the weekend will be looking.

This is the link you need to look at. Look where it says number of turbines online. 1 or 2, water flowing so dont go. 0 , you can wade fish but check the generation schedule here, http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/power/hydropower.html. At this link it will show you at thep bottom, most recent instatanious value, the cubic feet a second of water that is flowing. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ok/nwis/uv?site_no=07198000. For the most part the water flow during non generation has been in the 40's and is easily wadable. Even a few hundred isnt bad for wade fishing. You just need to go and look at the numbers when you go to get an idea for yourself.

go here tomorrow at 4:30pm and you'll know whether its fishable. http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/power/hydropower.html#TENK Just a guess but I would say it will be atleast for the morning and mid day. Also this isa helpful site too. It tells you the lake level, and there is are links to gore, and the upper illinios so you can tell how much water is coming in and how much is going out.

Also the generation schedule is subject to change so you will get shafted sooner or later.
