Outflow Changes Coming For Next Week

[MOPanfisher]

I just went down and watched some of the guys jump in and do the swimming across the current. darn I was worn out just watching them swim and fight the current. Out of curiousity I went down to the ramp on the river and checked the temp, just a shade over 56 degrees!

Current Plan: Today we are reducing outflow to 500 CFS. Will run at 500 CFS probably through at least 1200 hrs on Thursday the 26th. Reason: We still have some water to get rid of to reach target of 839.0, and MDC is doing some sampling in river channel downstream and need the consistent 500 CFS flow to achieve a consistent data set. They should finish next thrusday (26th) around 1200 or so barring any mechanical problems etc. etc. etc. After that we should be right at the target level and will reduce to match inflows or to a minimum of 50 CFS whichever works out.

Rains have changed the outflow forecast. I got lazy this time and just cut/pasted. Short version 500 CFS through weekend into early next week.

Thanks for the update. Always wanted to float the river. How would the float/fishing be, dam to Hermitage at 500 cfs?

Trying to plan my fishin tomorrow. Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts on if 500 cfs release is conducive to liesulrly yak float/fish morning, or should I stay on the lake and wait for slower water. Thanks
