Members Muddler4 Posted March 14, 2015 Members Posted March 14, 2015 According to the USGS gauge this is over double the 13 years of recording for that site for this date. Is it really that high? Any pictures? 250 cfs in the park is pretty high as well.
Members Zach Smith Posted March 14, 2015 Members Posted March 14, 2015 It's very high and murky. I got skunked today...hope someone else did better. There were more people fishing than I expected.
moguy1973 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 There was a ton of rain all the way down the I44 corridor and south last night. Wouldn't doubt it with all the snow melt from the last few weeks to go with it.

Kayser Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Was on the Little Piney today at 330-310 (start and finish flows), and that was about as much water as I want to wade (hard to fish, as well). 2000 cfs is a lot of water to do anything on, but nowhere near a record flood.

Kelroy Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Don't know if you fellas ever use this map, but it's very useful for checking stage trends by drainage basin. A quick glance will show you what areas are above or below average flow. Plus, you can mouse over each gage and get the current GHt/cfs, and click on it to go to that page. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mo/nwis/rt
Members Muddler4 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Members Posted March 16, 2015 Nope no where near a record but with the weather being so nice over the weekend I figured someone would give fishing a look or a try.
Members Zach Smith Posted March 17, 2015 Members Posted March 17, 2015 That's an awesome map, thanks for sharing.
Gavin Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 4' is a good level but not for wade fishing. Crossing is not an option in most spots. Gotta have a boat, should be good now, it drops fast.

Al Agnew Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 What you have to remember is that it is the highest flow recorded for that DATE in the years of record....and since there are only 13 years of records, it's probably far from the highest ever for that date as well. 2000 cfs is a lot of water, but a real flood in that part of the river would be up above 5000 cfs.
