Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 7, 2014 Root Admin Posted June 7, 2014 Just got an email forwarded to me from the Corp. They're saying the weather service is forecasting 5 inches of rain in the White River watershed in the next 7 days. But they state this forecast is a "moving target" and may change. They say if it does happen Table Rock will go to 920 feet. Anything above 920 might mean a couple of flood gates at Table Rock. All this is very speculative.
Members JCW355 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Posted June 7, 2014 Flood gates mean warmer water, no good. Look at what just happened on the Norfork recently.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 7, 2014 Author Root Admin Posted June 7, 2014 Floods gates won't hurt us as far as water temp. TR's surface temp is still below normal levels and the water below the surface is even cooler. The water that comes over the top of the dam is several feet below the surface. While the thought of flood gates NOW makes me nervous... I actually love to see it in moderation as far as fishing goes. It means shad and great fishing for the upper part of our lake.
