Tenkiller Lake jumped 3 feet today.

They are not generating right now.

I'm sure it will change since they like 632 so much.

The flood water coming down the Upper Illinois River has made it to Tahlequah, Ok.

I know some ramps that are NOT usable at that water level.

Yeah, that leaves only a handful of ramps out of the water.

Which is sort of dumb since I saw debris WAY up on some banks which makes me think it gets some extra water in it from time to time.

Anyone know or think they will keep up this generation through the weekend? I ask as we are coming down from KS this weekend and really wanted to trout fish. I'm guessing they will keep it going, but curious to see what everyone thought.

Yes. It will be running all weekend and more, until they get the lake down to 632 ft.

The river has not been fishable in a month. Right now the water is 6' higher than normal and there is no chance it will fall because of the gates open trying to draw the lake down to normal.

Those trout got to be missing the fly fishermen!

Maybe by August.

The gates were closed this afternoon. No idea why,
